The admiralty jurisdiction of federal courts extends to a case where a man was paralyzed while jumping from a pleasure boat into the shallow waters of Oneida Lake, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ruled.
Reversing a lower court, a three-judge panel held that the case over a 2011 recreational accident, in shallow but navigable waters that rendered claimant Matthew Ficarra a quadriplegic, could be heard by a U.S. District Court rather than be moved to a state court.
