Arnold & Itkin LLP files suit on behalf of a victim who suffered a closed head injury while boarding a vessel
Houston maritime lawyers Kurt Arnold and Paul Skrabanek of Arnold & Itkin LLP recently filed suit on behalf of a maritime worker from Crowley, Texas, who was injured while boarding a vessel owned by Maritech Resources, Inc. The injury occurred when the plaintiff was exiting a Rotorcraft Leasing Co., L.L.C. helicopter and fell upon the vessel’s helideck. The victim sustained a number of injuries in the fall, including a closed head injury that left the worker unconscious for nearly 30 minutes. The injury was caused by the negligence of the defendant's employees, who carelessly left foreign substances on the helideck. The case is currently pending in Galveston County Court.
