3388 REVIEW DENIED In a claim brought under the Jones Act by a construction worker on a bridge project who was injured when a section of the barge being used as a platform and pile-driving template flipped over while he was standing on it, his status as a seaman was subject to sufficient questions of fact as to whether his duties contributed to the function of the vessel or to accomplishing its mission and whether he had a substantial connection to a vessel in navigation to defeat summary judgment.CitationGAULT v MODERN CONTINENTAL (Seaman Status) 100 CA4 991 [See: 46 USC 688; Baptiste v Superior Court 106 CA3 87; Chandris v Latsis 515 US 347]
