Arnold & Itkin LLP maritime lawyers Jason Itkin, Cory Itkin, and Mike Tilton won a $675,000 settlement for a Jones Act seaman who had a back injury that did not require surgery. The Plaintiff, who lives in Florida, hurt his back when he fell approximately 3 feet while working alone. The Defendant refused to pay maintenance and cure because the client failed a post-accident drug screen. As a result of the company’s failure to honor its cure obligations, Arnold & Itkin worked hard to make sure that the firm’s client still received proper medical care. Arnold & Itkin filed the suit in Beaumont, Texas and settled the case just days before trial.
