This proposed legislation, titled "Hammers' Law," aims to permit the recovery of nonpecuniary damages in lawsuits arising from incidents on cruise ship voyages occurring on the high seas. It specifically amends Section 30307 of title 46, United States Code, which previously addressed limitations in commercial aviation accidents, to now include cruise ship voyages. The bill defines "nonpecuniary damages" as compensation for the loss of care, comfort, and companionship . Furthermore, it establishes a clear definition for a "cruise ship" under this law, specifying it as a passenger vessel authorized to carry at least 250 passengers, with onboard sleeping facilities, embarking or disembarking in the United States, and not engaged in a coastwise voyage.
