Representing Family After Offshore Electrocution Tragedy

Led by Cory Itkin, our Jones Act lawyers filed a maritime wrongful death case in Harris County, Texas on behalf of a Mobile, Alabama family who lost their loved one in a tragic offshore accident.

The victim, a dedicated maritime worker and father of two, was electrocuted while performing his duties offshore. This devastating electrical accident has left a family grieving the loss of a father who worked hard to provide for them. Early reports indicate that this tragedy could have been prevented; all that was required was proper safety procedures and maintenance being followed by the companies who were responsible for ensuring safe working conditions.

In the maritime industry, employers have a duty to protect their workers from known hazards, especially electrical risks that can be deadly in offshore environments. When companies cut corners or fail to uphold these responsibilities, the results are devastating.

Arnold & Itkin’s maritime attorneys are committed to seeking justice for this family, holding negligent companies accountable, and pushing for safer offshore practices to prevent future tragedies.

One of the attorneys on the case said, “When a company does not make safety their #1 priority, tragic incidents like this one become inevitable. Arnold & Itkin looks forward to ensuring that the party responsible is held accountable.”
