Admiralty Lawyer

After filing a Jones Act lawsuit against the Midnight Rider for claims of unseaworthiness, seaman Jacob Robichaux and Helix Engery Solutions Group have reached a settlement. During the time of the injury, Robichaux was working on the pipelaying barge that was operating just off the shore of Texas.

He claims that he sustained his injuries in an accident that was caused by the unseaworthiness of the vessel. The lawsuit that was originally filed sought damages for the injuries that occured to his head, back and neck.

While the parties involved did not disclose the amount of the settlement, Robichaux had originally sought $5 million in damages.
