Joe Terry obtained a $3,750,000 settlement for a tankerman who had been severely injured while carrying a discharge hose on a barge on the Houston Ship Channel. Terry & Thweatt took key depositions and hired specialized experts to prove the vessel owner was negligent by failing to provide the proper equipment necessary to safely complete the task at hand. The case was prepared for trial and settled as the trial date neared. Unable to work offshore, the settlement not only provided immediate relief but also secured our client’s financial future.
Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $1,517,480.16.
