Apex Marine Corp. held that prohibitions against the recovery of non-pecuniary damages in statutorily created personal injury and wrongful death actions also applied to actions under general maritime law (read federal common law).  In this episode, I interview Professor Force, who provides some background on the judicial landscape of maritime tort actions as well as his analysis of the Miles decision.
