Suit Filed for Young Seaman Injured in Unsafe Work Conditions
- Arnold & Itkin
Attorneys Noah Wexler, Trevor Courtney, and Shane Munton recently filed suit on behalf of a young seaman who suffered significant injuries to his back after being subjected to unsafe work conditions at Jacintoport in Houston, Texas.
Our client was performing his duties as a seaman when the unsafe conditions he was forced to work in took a severe toll on his body. The back injuries he sustained were not the result of bad luck; they were the predictable consequence of an employer that failed to provide a safe working environment. Maritime workers take on enormous physical demands every single day. The least their employers can do is ensure that the conditions they work in do not put their health and futures at risk.
This young man's career and quality of life should not be defined by an employer's failure to meet basic safety standards. The offshore injury lawyers at Arnold & Itkin, LLP is proud to represent him and to fight for the compensation and accountability he deserves.
