Transocean and Art Catering agree to settlement with injured cook
We are pleased to announce another settlement for one of our maritime clients.
Our client, a 55 year old cook, was employed by a company called Art Catering. Art Catering contracts with offsh
ore oil and gas companies, and operators, to provide catering and janitorial services.
Our client was injured when she slipped and fell on grease that had accumulated in the galley (kitchen) of an offshore jack-up rig owned and operated by Transocean, the largest offshore oil and gas drilling contractor.
Our client injured her head, back, and neck. She needed surgery and was unable to work. Art Catering and Transocean refused to help her. We filed a case on her behalf under the Jones Act.
One month before the case was scheduled to go to Court, the companies offered to pay our client a substantial settlement.
The settlement will allow her to get the surgery she needs, will replace her lost wages, and provides compensation for her pain and suffering and mental anguish.
