Atlantic Sounding Co. v. Townsend Atlantic Sounding Co. v. Townsend, 557 U.S. 404 (2009) , was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States holding that a seaman may recover punitive damages from his employer for failure to pay maintenance and cure. "Townsend" reversed a line of cases, starting with "Guevara v. Maritime Overseas Corp." in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans), that restricted damages in maritime personal injury cases only to "pecuniary" damages. Consequently, a seaman can now recover both attorney's fees and punitive damages for the willful and wanton refusal of a shipowner to provide medical care to a seaman injured on the job. The Court's 5-4 opinion was delivered by Justice Clarence Thomas.
