Attorney Kyle Findley

Attorney Kyle Findley and our team represented a grievously injured woman who was struck by train operators working for Union Pacific.

On March 5, 2016, our client took a brief rest next to some railroad tracks after losing her friends during a night out. Minutes later, train operators spotted her unmoving body on the tracks, identifying her as a person. Despite the life-threatening consequences an impact would have, the train operators didn’t stop or even slow down the train. As a result, our client suffered life-changing harm.

After seven years of delays, Union Pacific was forced to finally meet us in court. Because our firm proved the train operators might have avoided impact with our client, the jury awarded her a historic $557 million verdict. This money will go toward ensuring she gets the medical care and financial security she needs.

Attorney Jason Itkin and the team of lawyers from Arnold & Itkin won an impressive $76.6 million jury verdict on behalf of a boy who suffered gynecomastia, or irregular female breast growth. The verdict came against Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Pharmaceutical for their drug, Risperdal. The team was also assisted by Cory Itkin and Santana McMurrey from the firm. Both Jason and Kyle provided representation for the boy’s family, bringing a lawsuit against J&J for failing to provide a proper warning that their antipsychotic medicine, Risperdal, could lead to the development of female breasts. This verdict will help ensure that J&J is held accountable for causing such devastating disfigurement to Arnold & Itkin’s client.

J&J and Janssen Pharmaceuticals tried to argue that because their drug was the only drug that worked for the boy, he continued to stay on the drug—even though he was informed of the potential risks. They also tried to argue that Risperdal does not even cause gynecomastia, despite significant evidence that shows otherwise. Our team discovered pivotal evidence through careful cross-examination that was known in the case as “Tab 4.” It became crucial to our case and had never become public until the trial. This included scientific data that showed a clear link between Risperdal and the condition known as gynecomastia. Even though they had this information, J&J knowingly kept this evidence secret, hiding it from the FDA and burying it from scientific studies.

The Philadelphia jury found that Johnson & Johnson was guilty of falsifying, concealing, and/or destroying evidence. After just 11 days of trial, they unanimously agreed that J&J failed to warn of the side effects of Risperdal, thus causing our client to develop gynecomastia. They awarded our client $76.6 million—the largest single verdict in such a case.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Kyle Findley represented three Jones Act seamen who had been severely injured in a vessel collision. Their injuries were catastrophic in nature—leaving them unable to continue working and unable to care for their families. Our firm took on the case and worked tirelessly to prove that the defendant’s management failures were the direct cause of the accident. Despite this, the defendants went on to minimize our clients’ injuries. We continued to develop evidence and prepare for trial, and after several days in court, we were able to successfully reach a $40 million settlement on behalf of our clients.

In 2004, Georgia-Pacific hired Aircon, Inc. to design and install a dust collection system to protect their Corrigan, TX plant from disaster. The system worked by taking highly-combustible dust from an industrial sander and carrying it to a baghouse where filter bags cleaned it from the air. This worked in conjunction with a spark detection and suppression system to protect the baghouse; this was designed and supplied by GreCon, Inc.

10 years later, on April 26, 2014, these systems utterly failed. Sparks went through the ductwork and entered the baghouse, causing an explosion and deflagration. Unknowingly, our client had been standing within range of the disaster and was engulfed by the fire. He suffered catastrophic, life-threatening burns as a result. However, despite this, our client worked to alert emergency services and even refused to leave for medical treatment until he had confirmed that his co-workers were being transported for medical care.

When he finally did leave, he was taken by life flight helicopter to a Tier 1 burn unit where his lengthy healing process began. By the time his trial had started, he had already undergone seven surgical procedures and was projected to receive multiple more in the future. Attorney Kyle Findley took on the case and fought tirelessly for him. During the three week trial, we argued that the systems were unsafe and failed to meet industry standards. The jury deliberated and found both defendants negligent.

In the end, they awarded a record $39.744 million verdict for our client.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Kyle Findley, and Adam Lewis fought for a family that was involved in a serious truck accident. Although the defendants tried to deny accountability and even sought to lay the blame for the crash on our client’s shoulders, we disproved these arguments and showed that the truck was dangerous and the truck driver should not have been on the road in the first place. The defendants settled for $35.5 million.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Kyle Findley took on the case of a Jones Act seaman who injured his head after being involved in a vessel collision. Despite the gravity of his injuries, the defendants denied all responsibility for the incident. They also tried to limit their own liability by blaming other parties involved.

Our clients’ husband and father was working on an offshore rig owned and operated by Talos ERT, LLC to remove sections of aging pipeline. The decedent’s employer was contracted out to Talos, who planned and signed off on the entire project. Their plans included the use of rope to lift and lower large sections of pipeline despite there being more appropriate equipment available for the job.

Talos elected not to use these safer options through the entire planning process. As a result, a large piece of pipe broke free and landed on the decedent, ultimately killing him.

Talos took no responsibility for this incident, blaming the decedent’s coworkers and employer. They offered nothing but a nuisance value settlement to the deceased worker’s family, which is a legal term that means the cost of hiring a lawyer. To counter, we argued in court that the entire plan was Talos’ responsibility. The jury saw the truth of it. In the end, they granted our clients the largest wrongful death award in state history.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Caj Boatright, Roland Christensen, and Kyle Findley settled an oilfield accident case for $18.75 million on behalf of a worker who was seriously injured on the job. Once our client turned to us, we immediately demanded the companies involved to turn over tens of thousands of documents. We examined every document until we found the detail that would decide the case. Our firm aggressively cross-examined witnesses and developed the case for trial. Eventually, the defendant was forced to settle with our client rather than face his claim before a jury. We’re proud to say that our client will have everything he needs medically and financially for the rest of his life.

Attorneys Arnold and Kyle Findley stood up against corporate giants Williams Companies, Inc. and Sabic Petrochemicals to obtain an $18.5 million jury verdict for injuries wrongfully sustained in our clients. Though our firm thoroughly intends to bring Williams Companies, Inc. to further justice in future trials, juries have awarded our clients a combined $30 million from just two trials so far. This case was the first to hold Sabic Petrochemical financially responsible for the incident – the plant owners possessed a 16% stake at the time of the explosion. As our team pursues further trials against the parties responsible for this incident, we do so with our clients in mind, hopeful and honored to bring hard-working victims the justice they deserve.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Kyle Findley have won a verdict of $15,458,434.32 for our clients, who were injured and traumatized by the Williams Olefins plant explosion in 2013. The blast occurred during a $400 million expansion project, which was initiated while operations continued at the plant. The CEO and the board of directors were warned that continuing operations would put workers at increased risk, but they overruled the safety warnings and ordered that the plant continue operating instead of shutting down for a few months for the expansion project.

As a result, a reboiler over-pressurized from the lack of a functioning valve, causing an explosion that could be seen for miles. Our clients were all injured in the blast and were forced to flee the site immediately. The event left them with both physical and psychological injuries, and they needed compensation to help heal.

The plant’s owners’ parent company, Williams Companies, Inc., attempted to limit their compensation by placing the blame on Williams Olefins LLC—the holding company for the plant. With a vast amount of experience with plant operations, Arnold & Itkin attorneys set out to find the truth. After receiving over 100,000 documents, we found that the pressure relief valve for the reboiler was not opened.

More importantly, we found that the isolated reboiler was the subject of multiple audits and safety warnings—all of which were ignored, as the necessary repair was never provided. We discovered evidence that the Defendants had “substantial certainty” that an explosion would occur under those circumstances. As a result, our clients could seek compensation beyond the limits set by workers’ compensation. The most vital evidence we found, however, was proof that Williams Companies, Inc. were the true employers of plant managers and personnel, and were in control of daily operations at the site.

During trial, the Defendants insisted that they were protected by the statutory employer defense. They continued to exclusively blame Williams Olefins LLC, which would limit their responsibility for the explosion. However, after 3 weeks the jury saw the truth—they awarded a judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs, and found that the plant managers were actually employees of Williams Companies, Inc.

As a result, the jury assigned 95% responsibility to Williams Companies, Inc. and 3% to Williams Olefins LLC. Both were found to have substantial certainty about the inevitability of an explosion, and so a sizable award was able to be given to our clients.

The jury awarded our clients the following: $9.4 million, $3.6 million, $360,000, and $205,000. The award was made of the original judgment ($13,679,933.) as well as pre-judgment interest ($1,778,409.79). All told, our clients were awarded over $15.4 million for their injuries and pain.

Arnold & Itkin was proud to help our clients get the help and justice they needed. We are also honored to be representing over 100 more workers in upcoming trials with Clayton, Fruge, and Ward—fighting to get every injured worker the compensation due to them.
