Read a random definition: throwback rule

A quick definition of maintenance and cure:

Maintenance and cure is a term that means when a person who works on a ship gets hurt, their employer has to pay for their living expenses (called maintenance) and medical costs (called cure) until they are better. This is a rule that comes from the law for ships. The employer only has to pay until the person can work again or until more medical treatment won't help them. This rule helps protect people who work on ships when they get hurt.

A more thorough explanation:

Maintenance and cure is a legal term that refers to the rights of seamen who are injured while working at sea. It is a form of compensation that employers are required to provide to their injured employees.

Maintenance refers to the daily living expenses of a seaman. This includes things like food, lodging, and other basic necessities. Employers are required to pay for these expenses while the seaman is recovering from their injury.

Cure refers to the medical expenses of a seaman. This includes things like doctor's visits, hospital stays, and medication. Employers are required to pay for these expenses while the seaman is recovering from their injury.

For example, if a seaman falls and injures their back while working on a ship, their employer would be required to pay for their medical expenses (cure) and their daily living expenses (maintenance) while they are unable to work.

Another example would be if a seaman contracts an illness while working on a ship, their employer would be required to pay for their medical expenses (cure) and their daily living expenses (maintenance) while they are recovering.

These examples illustrate how maintenance and cure provides seamen with the necessary support to recover from their injuries or illnesses without having to worry about their basic needs.
