Arnold & Itkin LLP Settles Jones Act Personal Injury Suit For $2,375,000
Arnold & Itkin LLP maritime lawyer Kurt Arnold recently obtained a successful settlement in a Jones Act personal injury case filed on behalf of a seaman who suffered severe injuries while working for an employer off the coast of Louisiana.
The seaman lived in Louisiana and was injured while working in Louisiana inland waters. His Jones Act personal injury case was filed in Galveston County, Texas, under special venue rules which apply to lawsuits involving injuries that occur in inland waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
The firm's client had severely injured his leg due to an unsafe working environment. Maritime lawyer Kurt Arnold was able to prepare the client's case for trial and reach a successful pre-trial settlement less than twelve months after the original injury occurred.
Under Arnold's lead, the action was resolved with a settlement of $2,375,000 on the client's behalf.
