Injured Halliburton welder / mechanic obtains settlement for back injury claims

Our law firm was hired by a Halliburton Energy Services employee to represent him after he suffered a serious back injury while working offshore.

The worker was a mechanic / welder.  He and three other Halliburton workers were working on a jack-up rig owned by Rowan Companies.

They were doing welding work and had called a specialist welding company called Cajun Cutters in to assist.  The welder Cajun Cutters sent to assist did not do his job properly, and as a result, our client suffered a severe back injury.

Our client incurred more than $150,000.00 in medical bills and lost wages. 

We were able to obtain a settlement for him valued at more than $500,000.00 in net recovery to him (complete waiver of the lien and more than $350,000.00 in his pocket.
