Suit Filed for Transocean Seaman Who Suffered Shoulder Injury

Arnold & Itkin attorneys Kyle Findley, Trent Shelton, and Wes Hook have filed suit in Harris County against Transocean on behalf of a longtime Senior Toolpusher. After decades of loyal service, our client suffered a significant shoulder injury that required surgery, an injury that was directly tied to Transocean’s negligent conduct and failure to provide a safe working environment.

Too often, major offshore companies fail to meet their legal obligations under the Jones Act and general maritime law. Rather than valuing their experienced crews, some companies cut corners, delay maintenance, ignore safety recommendations, or refuse to staff operations adequately. When these decisions lead to preventable injuries, workers and their families bear the consequences while the company attempts to sidestep responsibility.

Our client deserved better. Our maritime lawyers look forward to holding Transocean accountable for the harm caused and for treating its dedicated employees as expendable. We will fight to ensure our client is fully compensated and that incidents like this do not continue.
