An offshore worker from Avondale, Louisiana has filed a Jones Act lawsuit against his employer for injuries allegedly suffered off the coast of Nigeria, reports the Louisiana Record.
Jessie Love claims the accident occurred while working as an instrumentation technician for Brittania-U Nigeria Ltd. According to court documents, he was directed to work on an oil production platform. While boarding the platform his leg was caught between the crew boat and a ladder which allegedly resulted in permanent and serious injuries.
Love accuses Brittania-U Nigeria of failing to provide medical treatment.
He seeks compensation for permanent physical impairment and disability, pain and suffering, loss of wages and wage earning capacity, medical expenses and punitive damages.
Though the accident occurred off of Nigeria the case was filed in Louisiana on Jan. 25.
