Representing Drill Site Worker Injured by Dangerous Machinery

Attorneys Cory Itkin and Daniel Cassee filed a lawsuit in Harris County District Court on behalf of a drill site worker who was grievously injured in a preventable work accident. The company our client worked for had been negligent about how heavy machinery was maintained and operated. When our client was working on site, he was pulled into the heavy machinery in a horrific accident that ripped much of the tissue out of his arm and caused serious injuries to his hand, wrist, shoulder, and neck.

These are catastrophic, permanent injuries that will affect our client for the rest of his life. The damage to his arm, hand, and wrist has fundamentally changed his ability to work and perform daily tasks. Combined with the serious injuries to his shoulder and neck, our client is facing a long and painful road to recovery, with the likelihood that he will never fully regain the use of his arm as it was before this incident.

Heavy machinery on drill sites poses inherent dangers, which is exactly why proper maintenance and safe operation are so critical. Companies operating these sites have a duty to ensure their equipment is properly maintained, that safety protocols are in place and followed, and that workers are protected from known hazards. When companies cut corners on maintenance or fail to implement proper safety measures around dangerous machinery, workers pay the price with their bodies and their livelihoods.

"Every worker deserves a safe workplace and to expect to arrive home to their families in one piece, free from injury," said an attorney on the case. "We are honored to represent this man against the companies that failed to follow basic safety principles and caused him permanent debilitating injuries."

No worker should suffer life-altering injuries because a company failed to follow basic safety standards. The work injury lawyers at Arnold & Itkin are committed to fighting for our client and holding the negligent companies accountable for their failure to provide a safe workplace.
