A deckhand filed a lawsuit against Environmental Safety & Health Consulting Services Inc. after allegedly falling to the deck and injuring his knee, reported the Louisiana Record.
According to documents of the case filed Sept. 8 in New Orleans federal court, Gregory Alexander claimed the accident occurred Sept. 10, 2010 when he was working aboard a vessel that ran at an unsafe speed for existing sea conditions, throwing him to the deck and disabling his right knee.
He seeks over $750,000 in damages for physical and mental pain and suffering, loss of wages, loss of earnings capacity and medical expenses.
The defendant stands accused of failure to operate the vessel in a reasonably safe manner, failure to provide a safe working place, preventing Alexander from being thrown to the deck and operating too fast for existing sea conditions.
