Fighting for Man Who Had Stroke on Oil Rig

Arnold & Itkin’s offshore injury lawyers are fighting for the compensation that a platform worker from Morgan City, Louisiana deserves and needs. Our client suffered a stroke while working off the coast of Louisiana, but the operator of the platform failed to get him the medical attention that he needed in a timely manner. This delay in treatment caused the man to sustain serious disabilities that will be with him for the rest of his life.

Offshore employers must make sure that they are prepared to get workers the help they need during a medical emergency. When a person is having a stroke, every second matters when it comes to getting them help. If a person receives prompt medical attention, the effects of a stroke can be minimized. Now, our client will have to deal with the severe and permanent effects of his stroke when he shouldn't be doing so.

Arnold & Itkin will always be ready to fight for justice on behalf of offshore oil rig workers. No one deserves to have the rest of their life changed because their employer failed to provide an adequate medical emergency response protocol. Our team filed this case in Harris County, Texas.
