Houston maritime lawyer Mike Pierce of Arnold & Itkin LLP successfully reached a $650,000 settlement on behalf of a crab fisherman injured when a hydraulic system aboard his vessel malfunctioned, causing a crab pot to strike the fishermen. The fisherman suffered nonsurgical injuries to his lower back. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon.
Brad Nelton, a resident of Oklahoma, has retained Arnold & Itkin LLP to represent him in a maritime personal injury lawsuit against Cenac Towing Company, LLC. On March 22, 2009, Mr. Nelton severely injured his neck when Cenac ordered him to perform his work in an unsafe manner and without proper equipment. At the time of his injuries, Mr. Nelton was a deckhand working aboard the M/V MARIE CENAC.
Despite Mr. Nelton's continuing need of medical treatment, Cenac threatened to terminate his maintenance and cure without justification. As a result, Arnold & Itkin LLP brought a lawsuit on Mr. Nelton's behalf in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Arnold & Itkin LLP maritime lawyers Paul Skrabanek and Kurt Arnold obtained $600,000 on an un-operated neck case.

The case was settled three months in advance of the trial setting and after only one deposition.
