5.8 Million Dollar Wrongful Death Verdict

Wrongful death claims are some of the most difficult and emotionally trying cases to take on – at Arnold and Itkin, we are not deterred. We know that a successful outcome in a case of this nature can mean all the difference to a family suffering the loss of a loved one and we are fully dedicated to helping our clients receive the just outcome that they deserve.

This was the case when attorneys Kurt Arnold and Paul Skrabanek from our team took on such a case for the surviving daughter of Sidney Prevost, deceased. Mr. Prevost was employed in Port Arthur, TX for Van Dyke's seafood processing facility. One day, after suffering from a substantial head injury, he began to bleed from the mouth and suffer severe headaches. He went to lie in the break room – something that the personnel allowed to occur for seven hours despite knowing of the severity of his symptoms.

When our attorneys took on the case, they tried it before the Honorable Judge Donald Floyd in Jefferson County, TX. It was only after four hours of deliberation that the jury was able to return with a unanimous verdict. The outcome? A 5.8 million dollar verdict on behalf of our client.
