$50 K
Our client was the engineer aboard a 77 foot
longliner, the EAGLE. The master directed him to
repair a compressor for a small freezer. In the
process of doing so, he was struck by a plate
which flew off the compressor, sustaining a neck
injury.
Prior to the trial, the defense offered $50,000 in
settlement. At trial, our firm secured a judgment
exceeding $230,000.
