Arnold & Itkin LLP Files Suit On Behalf Of Injured Texas Shrimper
Arnold & Itkin LLP maritime attorneys Kurt Arnold and Paul Skrabanek, together with Corpus Christi attorney Jerry Trevino, have filed suit on behalf of an injured Texas shrimper. The shrimper was a seaman aboard the vessel Double E when the Captain recklessly operated a piece of equipment that struck the shrimper in the head. The sudden blow to the head knocked the shrimper to the deck of the boat, where he again struck his head. In addition to receiving a closed head injury, the shrimper suffered severe injuries to his neck and back.
Unfortunately for the shrimper, the defendant named in the suit subsequently did everything it could to ensure the shrimper did not receive access to adequate medical care.
The case is pending in Aransas Pass County, Texas.
