5th Circuit Upholds 1.2 million dollar Jones Act verdict


Posted on Jun 06, 2008

Last year, a Houston federal jury returned a $1.2 million dollar verdict in favor of one of our firm's clients against his Jones Act employer, Penn Maritime

Penn Maritime appealed to the Fifth Circuit.

The case was argued on Monday, June 2, 2008 in New Orleans.  On Thursday, June 5, 2008, in a per curiam opinion, the Court upheld every part of the jury's verdict in favor of our firm's client, while reforming the interest calculation.

Congratulations to Arnold & Itkin, our co-counsel, along with appellate counsel at Beck, Redden & Secrest.
