OPINION
CALEB M. WRIGHT, Senior District Judge.
This action was brought by the parents of a deceased seaman alleging negligence under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688 and unseaworthiness under general maritime law. This case is within the admiralty and general maritime jurisdiction of this Court.
On February 17, 1992, the defendants filed a motion and opening brief for summary judgment. Defendants contend that summary judgment should be granted as the plaintiffs are unable to prove causation, a necessarily element of their claim, and are unable to prove any entitlement to damages.
