BATON ROUGE — A tankerman is suing PBC Management LLC, Florida Marine Transporters LLC and David McNemar, a vessel operator, for allegedly taking insufficient measures to prevent injuries and negligence.
Dakota Lee filed a complaint on October 19 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisian alleging that the defendants failed to maintain their vessel in a safe and reasonable state of repair.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he sustained serious and debilitating injuries while performing line handling operations on Sept. 18, 2015, causing him to suffer physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, lost earnings and medical expenses.
