Derrickman Trips On Cable

THE FACTS
A Derrickman on a fixed platform tripped on a cable and injured his back.

OUR RESULT
Although the incident was unreported, as many incidents often are, Lambert Zainey’s offshore injury lawyers were able to demonstrate that the derrickman’s back injury was work-related despite the fact that the derrickman was arguably at fault for not paying attention. Because he was a longshoreman, Lambert Zainey was nevertheless able to negotiate a successful resolution of his claims by showing that the injury was work related.
