The area in which they were required to operate was known to be at high risk for boarding, attacks and kidnappings yet their employer, and the company to which they were contracted, failed to take adequate measures to ensure their security and safety.

UPS had previously offered the family a $150,000 settlement before the case went to trial in Harris County, Texas.

The defendant argued that the line only became tight because another worker let it fall into the water; that our client was only injured because he had improperly tied the line around his shoulder; and that our client had pre-existing injuries.
