Houston maritime lawyer Mike Pierce is pleased to announce that he has successfully reached a $770,000 settlement on behalf of a Danos & Curole employee injured while working aboard a Chevron platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The incident occurred when the employee fell down a stairway on the platform, seriously injuring his shoulder. A post-accident investigation revealed that the stairway in question did not have adequate slip protection, and the handrail of the stairway did not meet ANSI standards. The injured worker underwent three surgeries to correct the damage to his shoulder. The case settled three weeks before trial was set to begin in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
