Felix Frankfurter,
Czaplicki v. The S.S. Hoegh Silvercloud…
“ The reasoning of that case seems to me to carry out the scheme of the legislation with appropriate consistency.'So far as concerns the tortfeasor's liability to the employee beyond the amount of workmen's compensation, no agreement between the tortfeasor and the employer can prejudice the employee, because, although it is true that, by accepting compensation, the employee assigns his claim against the tortfeasor to the employer or insurer, the assignee holds it for the benefit of the employee so far as it is not necessary for his own recoupment. ”
