Lafourche man sues over crane injuries

An injured crane operator is suing the company he believes is responsible for his injuries.

According to a lawsuit filed April 1 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Kevin Posey is suing National Oilwell Varco LP for injuries he sustained while working at its Port Fourchon, La., facility.

According to the lawsuit, on April 7, 2014, Posey suffered undescribed injuries "when a piece of unsecured floor grating gave way, causing him to become pinned between the hole in the grating and a large drum."

Posey is represented by Kristi A. Post, of Scheuermann and Jones of New Orleans.

He seeks undisclosed damages and costs.
