Injured AB Seaman hires VB lawyer for tugboat injury claim against G&H Towing



An AB seaman working for G&H Towing Company aboard the tugboat "Jupiter" was handling two tangled headlines when he injured his groin and low back.  The seaman had previously told the company he needed help for this job, however, the company refused to provide him any help, instructing him to do the job alone.

The seaman underwent a hernia surgery about a month after the incident, and an orthopedic surgeon is recommending he undergo a back surgery.

The seaman hired Vuk Vujasinovic of Vujasinovic & Beckcom to file a Jones Act lawsuit against G & H Towing Company.  The case was filed in Harris County, Texas.  The lawsuit asserts claims for maintenance and cure, negligence, and vessel unseaworthiness.

This tugboat injury lawsuit remains pending.
