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.

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. Attorneys Kyle Findley and Adam Lewis took on the case and fought tirelessly for him. During the three week trial, they 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.

Arnold & Itkin’s team of offshore injury lawyers fought for a $16.9 million verdict on behalf of a seaman who contracted a staph infection as a result of poor water filtration on the jack-up rig where he was working. Our client’s condition requires him to be on medication for the rest of his life, and he will be unable to return to work offshore. His employer refused to pay all of his medical bills, however, instead claiming that our client’s condition was unrelated to his time on the rig in the Persian Gulf. Before trial, the employer’s highest offer to settle the case was just $300,000. We took them to trial and won; the verdict included $2 million in punitive damages for the defendant’s failure to pay maintenance and cure. After the trial, Arnold & Itkin came to a confidential settlement with the defendant. That settlement will ensure that our client can receive the care and support he needs – for life.

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. This case was presided over by the Honorable Elizabeth Engolio and was filed in Iberville Parish, Louisiana.

The settlement included the $9.55 million payment, an admittance of guilt by the defendant given to the client, a payment of $500,000 for the client’s medical bills, and the creation of a memorial safety award to honor the client’s service and diligence while employed as a longshoreman.

Attorneys Noah Wexler and Ben Bireley represented the son, mother, and estate of a young father who was killed when an off-duty employee drove a company truck while drunk.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Kyle Findley recovered $1,400,000 on behalf of an injured Texas worker. The plaintiff was working on a blowout preventer at an elevated height at a large facility in Louisiana. After completing the work, the plaintiff headed towards the ladder to exit the structure when the railing on the scaffold gave way, causing him to fall 10 feet, landing on the concrete. As a result, the plaintiff suffered severe injuries to his head and back. Unfortunately, he had to undergo treatment with orthopedic doctors and ultimately a back surgery. The attorneys filed suit in Harris County, alleging that the companies failed to properly inspect and maintain the scaffold. The defendants tried to place blame on the plaintiff for not wearing a safety harness at the time of the incident. During discovery, Arnold & Itkin was able to develop evidence showing, that during the scaffold inspection, the defendant failed to recognize that the railing was not secured with pins. In addition, Arnold & Itkin developed evidence to prove that defendant's theory was irrelevant because plaintiff would have hit the concrete even with a safety harness. The case was successfully resolved two weeks before trial.

The fisherman was t-boned by the crew boat, suffering serious back injuries for which he eventually required surgery.

Prior to the trial, BOPCO, LP offered no settlement, eventually changing their stance and offering $190,000 while the jury was deliberating. They based their argument on the idea that our client was at fault for driving too fast, failing to maintain a proper look out, and driving on the wrong side of the canal. They also argued that he didn't really need back surgery, as his injuries weren't that severe. On top of this, they tried to argue that his lost wages were minimal, since he didn't report significant earnings to the government and that his medical bills were exaggerated. In their final attempt to protect themselves, they tried to take advantage of the Limitation of Liability Act in order to cap any damages at $45,000.

Arnold & Itkin Attorney Cory Itkin was able to successfully argue against all of these attacks, securing the results our client deserved. The jury awarded $1,106,762 to our client for total damages. This amount was reduced by 25% to account for contributory negligence. The total judgment was for $830,071, far more than the initial settlement that BOPCO, LP tried to offer our injured client.

Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $0.00.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Kyle Findley recently secured an $800,000 settlement on behalf of a client that was injured at work. The client was cleaning out machinery with his hand when the operator activated the machine, severing two of his fingers. During discovery, the attorneys were able to secure evidence that the operator had been pulled off of this machine earlier for not paying attention, and was using his cell phone at the time of the incident. The attorneys were very pleased with the result because the defendants maintained that workers compensation laws prevented the client from filing a lawsuit against his employer. With dedication to the case, the attorneys were able to prevent dismissal of the case by attacking the employment contract and presenting evidence that the client was not a borrowed employee. After several hearings regarding the client’s employment status, the case settled at mediation.

Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $367,663.00.
