Cory Itkin

Attorney Cory Itkin won a record-breaking $164.5 million settlement for the family of a worker who was burned to death while working at an oil and gas facility. The settlement is believed to be the largest ever involving just one person. The worker was on the job when a fire broke out. After, he was transferred to a burn unit where, despite the best efforts of his medical team, he died from his injuries several weeks later. He was not married but had four adult children. The case was highly complex and required dozens of depositions and substantial motion practice before the Court. The case was settled a week before trial. We at Arnold & Itkin are proud we obtained justice for the family, secured a settlement that will ensure meaningful change in the industry, and helped bring some closure to the worker's grieving family. The case was litigated in Nueces County, Texas.

This settlement ensures the family’s financial security for life.

Jason Itkin and Cory Itkin won a $25 million settlement for the widow of a railroad worker whose husband was killed in a workplace accident when a piece of equipment failed. The defendants attempted to shift blame by arguing the equipment was being improperly used and that others were to blame instead. They also argued the widow was not entitled to much compensation since the couple had not been together for long. We were able to show this was wrong and ensure the widow will be taken care of for the rest of her life.

“This case shows why equipment inspections and maintenance are so important,” said our attorneys. “When companies fail to take care of their equipment, terrible tragedies can happen; workers and their families pay the ultimate price for those failures. Arnold & Itkin is proud to have achieved a result that will help our client move on with her life while also ensuring that this type of tragedy doesn’t happen again at this worksite.”

Jason Itkin and Cory Itkin won a $17.25 million settlement on behalf of a Katy, Texas man injured in a flash fire at a plant in Tijuana, Mexico. The injured client was helping install equipment at the plant when the fire occurred. In the incident, our client sustained burns to his hands, arms, and face that needed several procedures to help them heal. The defendants claimed the incident was the injured worker’s fault and pointed to the fact that his burns largely healed due to his medical treatment. Despite this, we obtained a favorable settlement to ensure the injured worker and his wife will be financially secure.

“At every turn, the defendants threw up obstacles to avoid responsibility for this terrible incident,” said our attorneys. “But, after more than four years of fighting for our clients, we were able to get justice, hold the wrongdoers accountable, and make sure our clients are fully compensated for their losses.”
