Case Description
Kurt Arnold, Caj Boatright, and Roland Christensen obtained a $193,000,000 settlement for two offshore workers injured by a pipeline explosion. One of the injured workers eventually succumbed to his injuries and sadly passed away.
After being hired, Arnold & Itkin immediately mobilized—investigating the incident, collecting evidence, and taking numerous depositions of the key witnesses in the case. Our firm navigated the case through the unique aspects of maritime law. Our depth of experience in this area of the law ensured that it moved quickly toward trial, which the negligent companies wanted to avoid at all costs. Rather than face a jury verdict, the companies relented and paid a settlement that will take care of these families for generations to come.
In addition to pushing the case toward trial, Arnold & Itkin also helped our clients get the best care and support after such a tragic event. It is truly our privilege to represent hard-working families like these when everything is on the line for them.
Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $48,299,115.80.
