Allied Marine Services has been hit with a personal injury case by a seaman who suffered disabling neck injuries on the job.
Plaintiff George B. Creamer was assigned as a crewmember on the M/V Allied Elevator No. 1. On May 17, 2009, while manually moving a gangway to connect the vessel to the shore, he suffered disabling and serious injuries to his neck, according to his suit reported in the Louisiana Record.
Allied faces numerous allegations of negligence including: failure to properly follow safety precautions, failure to inspect the vessel and deck for deficiencies, failure to properly train, supervise and notify workers about known hazards and failure to inspect equipment for deficiencies.
Creamer is asking for compensation for physical pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental and emotional distress and anguish, medical expenses, loss of income and earning capacity, and maintenance and cure.
