    Settlement Reached for Man Who Fell from Scaffolding

    Arnold & Itkin recovered $5.5 million for a man who was severely injured when the scaffolding he was working on was knocked out from under him—causing his body to slam against the surrounding pipe. As a result of the defendant’s failures, our client underwent surgery to correct his cervical spine and labrum. He was only 22 years old when this incident occurred. Our team is proud to have helped him obtain a result that will allow him to continue healing while holding the defendants responsible for their failures.

    “Our client is hardworking and was seriously injured at the start of his career,” said our attorneys. “This incident knocked him off course, but we are proud to have been a part of this case—to have helped him reach a resolution that will give him the ability to heal and continue his life as it was before this horrific incident.”

  • $3.13 Million

    Settlement Reached for Injured Platform Worker

    Our client was working on a platform in the Gulf of Mexico, defenseless on a transfer basket, when the defendants slammed him to the floor of a vessel. Our firm took on the case and helped him reach a $3,125,000 settlement for the injuries he suffered. Our team is proud to have shown how hard work and the right team can help our clients recover what is fair.

    “Our client is a great example of the people we at Arnold & Itkin fight every day to help,” said our attorneys in a statement. “We are very proud to have helped him in reaching this resolution to his case—recovering a settlement that will allow him to move forward with the healing process and his life.”

  • $1.3 Million

    Settlement Secured for Injured Food Delivery Worker

    Arnold & Itkin was able to secure a settlement for our client who was involved in a serious accident where he was impacted by frozen materials while delivering goods for a national supermarket chain. As a result of the defendants failing to properly load our client's trailer and failing to follow their own policies and procedures, our client was placed in a dangerous position. Companies must follow their own procedures on loading, stacking, and securing cargo. When they fail to do that, people get injured. We were able to hold those who were responsible for our client's injuries fully accountable and provide the closure our client needs to heal and move forward.

    "I am very pleased that we were able to win a settlement on behalf of our client," said our attorneys in a statement. "He was put in a difficult and harmful position by his employer and the supermarket chain that placed profits and the product above safety. This settlement will surely help our client to continue to heal and obtain closure following this horrific incident."

    Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $516,121.19
