Arnold & Itkin LLP Settles Jones Act Case For $1.5 Million
Arnold & Itkin LLP maritime attorney Kurt Arnold recently obtained a substantial settlement in a Jones Act personal injury lawsuit filed in Houston, Texas, on behalf of an injured seaman.
The firm's client, from northwestern Louisiana, was hurt when he was violently struck by a spreader bar while working as a seaman. Afterward, the injured seaman's employer denied him the right to be treated by a physician of his choice.
Arnold & Itkin LLP took on the injured worker's case and helped provide him the necessary funds to receive medical treatment and to meet his daily needs while his case was pending.
Lawyer Kurt Arnold then was able to negotiate a successful $1,500,000 settlement on the client's behalf one month before trial, just eight months after filing suit.
Kurt Arnold and the firm are proud to have aided another injured seaman who deserved just compensation for injuries incurred while working in the maritime industry.
