A Louisiana seaman has filed a Jones Act suit against Marquette Transportation Co. Gulf-Inland. The Seaman claims that he was injured on board a vessel operated by the company.
According to Timothy J. Rogers, he suffered injuries while working on board the Mary Kay, which is operated by Marquette Transportation Co. Gulf-Inland. The seaman filed the lawsuit on February 19, 2010, in Jefferson County District Court.
While working on the Mary Kay, Rogers claims that he sustained injuries to his back and body. However, Rogers has not specified how the injuries occurred.
He has also cited that the Mary Kay was unseaworthy and has blamed Marquette for negligence, resulting in his injuries.
Rogers has made claim that he has incurred medical costs and loss of wages. He has also indicated that he has suffered physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment and physical disfigurement as a result of his injuries sustained on board the Mary Kay.
Johnson is seeking a judgment that will include more than the minimum jurisdictional limits of the courts as well as pre-judgment interest and post-judgment interest. He is also seeking attorney’s fees and other relief that the court sees fit.
The Jefferson County District Court number is: D186-080. Judge Milton Shuffield, 136th District Court, will be presiding over the case.
An accident aboard a ship can be catastrophic and lead to serious complication. We wish Mr. Rogers a speedy recovery.
