Our client, an offshore rig worker, sustained severe nerve injury to his left leg, which resulted in significant disability as well as constant pain and suffering. His injury occurred while he was working in the derrick aboard the offshore rig, and although the company claimed he was entirely to blame for his own accident (which would have prevented him from recovering any damages beyond medical expenses), through investigation and expert testimony we were able to prove that the company was at fault for his accident. As a result, we achieved a $1,900,000 settlement prior to trial.More Jones Act Settlement Results:
