Uralde v. US, No. 09-13845, involved an action against the U.S. claiming that plaintiff’s wife died as a result of the Coast Guard’s failure to provide her access to timely medical treatment after she was injured during the Coast Guard’s interdiction of their vessel. The court reversed the dismissal of the action on the ground that, because the Suits in Admiralty Act did not include a reciprocity requirement, plaintiff had no obligation to demonstrate that Cuba would allow Americans to sue its government on similar claims.
