As an attorney at Arnold & Itkin LLP, Cory Itkin represents the rights of people in Houston, Texas. He devotes his practice to handling high stakes personal injury cases that involve matters such as trucking and maritime accidents as well as plant explosions.
After earning a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from The University of Texas at Austin, Mr. Itkin received a Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center, where he graduated cum laude and was invited to join the Order of the Barons.
The maritime industry exposes workers to potentially hazardous conditions on a routine basis. People who suffer a catastrophic injury or lose a loved one in this environment do have legal recourse. An aggressive trial attorney, Mr. Itkin has built a track record of successfully obtaining compensation for victims of negligence. That money is a necessary part of enabling the injured or their loved ones to start on the road to recovery.
Throughout his career, Mr. Itkin and his team have secured more than 50 verdicts and settlements of more than $1 million. Among those victories is a case in which a family lost a loved one in a tragic offshore accident. The $29 million settlement is the largest settlement to date in a case involving an offshore death. In another case, a $5.4 million settlement was achieved for a client who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder following an offshore incident.
