Cal Dive International named in decompression illness lawsuit

Houston-based Cal Dive International is being sued for negligence for injuries to one of its commercial divers.

Plaintiff Roger Cook says he suffered damage to his inner ear and vestibular system caused by central nervous system decompression illness during a commercial dive Nov. 16, 2010. The incident in question occurred while he was employed by the defendant as a seaman aboard the Pipelay/Bury Barge Lone Star.

Cal Dive is accused of negligence for failure to implement a safe dive plan, lack of sufficient tools and manpower for the job, and failure to provide proper medical treatment.

The plaintiff seeks compensation for disability, injuries, medical expenses and maintenance and cure.

The story appeared in the Louisiana Record.
