Banguot v. American Seafoods
Marler Clark obtained a $225,000 settlement on behalf of Thichiot Banguot, a Sudanese immigrant who suffered a frostbite injury aboard the Ocean Rover, an American Seafoods fishing vessel. Mr. Banguot’s left index through small fingers became frostbitten, requiring amputation of his fingertips, after the vessel’s freezer supervisor permitted Mr. Banguot to work inside the Ocean Rover’s freezer hold wearing only thin glove liners.
