A floorhand has filed suit against TETRA Applied Technologies LLC and TETRA Technologies Inc. for severe and disabling injuries caused after he fell off a metal grating on April 12.
Terry Scott Lowe of Mississippi alleges he was forced to stand on a grate without railings during vessel operations so that he could see hand signals from the driller and the deck hand.
Because there was no railing, he allegedly fell from the grating, bounced off a piling and landed on another metal grating four feet below where he had stood.
Lowe seeks unspecified damages from the defendants who are accused of failure to maintain the vessel and its equipment in a safe and reasonable state of repair, failure to provide a safe working place and failure to warn him of existing and known dangers.
The suit was filed Oct. 25th in the Galveston Division of the Southern District of Texas court.
