Deckhand with neck injury retains Arnold & Itkin LLP for maritime personal injury lawsuit against Cenac Towing Company LLC
Brad Nelton, a resident of Oklahoma, has retained Arnold & Itkin LLP to represent him in a maritime personal injury lawsuit against Cenac Towing Company, LLC. On March 22, 2009, Mr. Nelton severely injured his neck when Cenac ordered him to perform his work in an unsafe manner and without proper equipment. At the time of his injuries, Mr. Nelton was a deckhand working aboard the M/V MARIE CENAC.
Despite Mr. Nelton's continuing need of medical treatment, Cenac threatened to terminate his maintenance and cure without justification. As a result, Arnold & Itkin LLP brought a lawsuit on Mr. Nelton's behalf in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
