Deckhand Injury Lawyer (877) 724 7800 Robert was employed as a deckhand for Kirby Inland Marine. Robert was working on a barge (Kirby Barge 30413) removing a vapor line when his foot became lodged in a drip pan which had not been properly covered by a grate, as required by the safety rules. This caused Robert to fall on his back to the deck, injuring his spine. Robert hired us, and we filed a Jones Act lawsuit for him, seeking benefits for maintenance and cure, negligence, and unseaworthiness. Please watch this video to hear Robert talk about the legal services we provided to him.
