HOUSTON — A Florida maritime worker is suing a drilling company, alleging he was injured while working on a tugboat.
Littleton Bramblett filed a complaint Aug. 23 in Harris County District Court against Edison Chouest Offshore LLC and Galliano Marine service LLC, alleging negligence and unseaworthiness.
According to the complaint July 10, 2018, Bramblett was working on the tugboat Forte for the defendants. The suit alleges Bramblett slipped and fell due to a dangerous condition on the defendants' vessel.
