Suit Filed for Deckhand Injured in Crane Accident

Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Trent Shelton of Arnold & Itkin have filed suit in Harris County, Texas, on behalf of an injured seaman.

Our client, who was working as a deckhand at the time of the incident, suffered a severe injury when a crane operator put a piece of equipment down in the wrong place.

“Too often, we see offshore oil companies ignoring basic safety risks,” said our maritime injury attorneys in a statement. “This incident was no different and could have been avoided if the company had the correct policies and procedures in place.”

We look forward to holding the defendant accountable so our client can get the support and treatment he needs—and deserves.
