Mississippi seaman files suit for knee injury

A Mississippi offshore worker claims he injured his knee after attempting to land on a dangerously slick platform.

The Southeast Texas Record reports that Timothy Joe Leming, Tylertown, was ordered to swing from the vessel Malloy G in rough seas off the Louisiana coast onto a 5-plus deck on the High Island 523C on Mar. 20, his lawsuit states. While attempting to land he slipped and his left knee fell into the grating of the landing area which was said to be covered with algae and waves.

Leming filed the claim in Southern District of Texas court in Galveston on Oct. 20 against platform owner/operator Pisces Energy LLC, Wood Group Production Services Inc., Wood Group USA Inc. and Phil Guilbeau Offshore Inc.

The defendants are accused of forcing Leming to maneuver in rough conditions and for failure to inspect the grating.

He asks for unspecified damages and a trial by jury.
