Industrial injury lawyers Kurt Arnold and Paul Skrabanek from Arnold & Itkin LLP and Brad Wyly from the Wyly Law Firm recovered $875,000 for a worker who suffered catastrophic burns to his head and body. The settlement was recovered from a major oil company and fuel delivery company. Suit arose because the delivery company and oil company delivered diesel fuel to the worker's jobsite that was contaminated with gasoline. That type of contamination renders the diesel fuel extremely volatile. Consistent with that, the worker went to check the diesel level and the diesel ignited engulfing the worker in flames. The suit was pending in the 125th District Court in Harris County, Texas before judge Kyle Carter.
