$1.45 million Recovered on Behalf of Injured Jones Act Seaman
Arnold & Itkin LLP attorneys Jason Itkin, Kurt Arnold, and Cory Itkin recovered $1.45 million on behalf of an injured Jones Act seaman. The case settled just days before going to trial. Our client was severely injured when he fell out of the ship's trash dumpster which had been suspended in the air. He broke his hip and wrist in the fall and developed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. He has not been able to return to work.
The shipping company argued that the injured worker had already recovered from his injuries, but had not returned to work beacuse he had been battling alcoholism for several years. Arnold & Itkin LLP showed they were wrong. We also helped our client get the medical treatment he needed and the compensation he deserved. The case was pending in federal court in Balitmore, Maryland.
