The Jones Act lawyers of Arnold & Itkin LLP represent an injured seaman in a maritime lawsuit against Hercules Offshore, Inc. brought pursuant to the Jones Act.  The maritime worker was seriously injured while working as a floorhand on a Hercules drilling rig.  He was hit in the head with the rig’s Kelly because a brake was not properly working.  As a result of the defective brake, the seaman sustained crippling head, neck, and back injuries.   His case is pending in Galveston County, Texas.
