Case Details
Michael S. Tilton helped this settlement for a Jones Act seaman who had a back injury that did not require surgery. The client hurt his back when he fell approximately three feet while working alone. The defendant refused to pay maintenance and cure because the client failed a post-accident drug screen. As a result of the company's failure to honor its cure obligations, Mr. Tilton worked hard to make sure the client still received proper medical care. The case settled just days before trial.
