Our client was an offshore worker who sustained a back injury while working on the drill floor. The defendant refused to offer more than $25,000 prior to trial to settle this claim. Even though the company’s own doctor admitted that our client needed back surgery, the company insisted that our client was injured prior to working offshore. The defendant company even threatened to file fraud charges against our client through the United States Attorney’s office. The jury strongly disagreed with the company’s position in the case and awarded our client more than $550,000 in total damages.
