This doctrine states that a seaman who is injured while working aboard a vessel is entitled to maintenance and cure benefits. Maintenance and cure benefits are payments from the employer to cover the seaman’s medical expenses and to provide them with a living allowance while they are unable to work. There are two elements to 7.11 Maintenance and Cure-Elements and Burden of Proof. The first element is that the seaman must have been injured while working on the vessel or due to the vessel's operations. The second element is that the seaman must have been acting in the course of their employment when the injury occurred. This means that the seaman must have been performing their duties in a reasonable and efficient manner. In order to be entitled to maintenance and cure benefits, the seaman must prove that both of the elements have been met. This means that the seaman must show that they were injured while working on the vessel or due to the vessel's operations, and that they were acting in the course of their employment when the injury occurred. The burden of proof is on the seaman to prove that both elements have been met. Therefore, 7.11 Maintenance and Cure-Elements and Burden of Proof is a legal doctrine that states that a seaman is entitled to maintenance and cure benefits if they can prove that they were injured while working on the vessel or due to the vessel's operations, and that they were acting in the course of their employment when the injury occurred.
