Last month, a shipping vessel in Corpus Christi collided with a submerged pipeline causing a deadly explosion. Four crew members were killed and several others were seriously injured, including Jose Cantu, who sustained critical burns.
The Cantu family has trusted our firm with their future. We filed a $100,000,000 lawsuit in Nueces County on their behalf.
When major maritime disasters happen, victims turn to Arnold & Itkin as leaders in maritime law to help. We represented more than 30 crew members injured or killed on the Deepwater Horizon, several widows of the El Faro tragedy, and nearly all the families of sailors who perished aboard the USS John McCain. Our firm has won the largest known recovery in U.S. history in a maritime-related death case and the largest known workplace accident settlement in Texas history.
We know what it takes to win, and we never back down.

Maritime work is not for the timid. Brave crew members take on dangerous jobs and risk serious injury while offshore—injuries that could take away their livelihood or permanently diminish their quality of life. These offshore workers have specific legal protections under a law known as the Jones Act.
Watch the video below to learn more about the Jones Act and how it can benefit you.

Inspiring hope in the midst of tragedy.
That’s at the core of who we are, and what we’re most proud of.
This month, we’ve been sharing some of the different ways we’ve been giving back and the amazing organizations we feel lucky to support, such as the Sunflower County Freedom Project, The Monarch School and Institute, and more.
But we believe such generosity shouldn’t happen just during the holiday season.
That’s why the Arnold & Itkin Foundation has made it our mission to give back and help those who need it most, all year long.
We’d love to hear from you about ways that you’ve been able to give back recently. Have you seen any incredible acts of kindness this month? Share your stories with us below! #aigivesback
The Monarch School and Institute is a special place for students with neurological differences, providing innovative and therapeutic education that affirms each student’s dignity while equipping them for a successful future.
It has been one of the highest honors for our firm to be able to give back to our community by partnering with this incredible school before, hosting their annual fundraiser and contributing to their efforts.
As previously announced, the Arnold & Itkin Foundation recently donated $110,000 to empower The Monarch School and Institute School’s life-changing work through the pandemic and beyond.
“While others are stepping back, we are stepping up,” said Kurt Arnold.

As part of our ongoing efforts to give back to our Houston community, AI recently hosted a canned food drive for Target Hunger, a nonprofit organization that serves thousands of vulnerable households whose residents suffer from food insecurity each month. Right now, Target Hunger is on the front line providing food to homebound seniors and managing large drive through food distributions multiple times each week.
We are so thankful for the work Target Hunger does to help alleviate hunger in Houston’s impoverished northeast region and are proud to have been a part of their generous efforts. #aigivesback

In 2004, Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin set out to create a law firm unlike any other.
A firm that got the best results for its clients.
A firm that wasn’t afraid to take on the largest corporations.
A firm that would put everything on the line to get justice for people who needed help the most.
A firm made up of dedicated, smart, hard-working, and passionate trial lawyers.
And that’s exactly what they did.
Earlier this week we shared how our team takes on corporate giants in some of the most notorious catastrophic disasters in the country. For those of you who missed our documentary, you can watch it here: https://bit.ly/3axiEcO

We’ve all seen the events on the news. Stories of unimaginable tragedies and disasters happening to unsuspecting victims all across the country.
But what happens after these accidents?
Cover-ups. Devastation. Heartbreak.
It’s the story that most people don’t hear about.
Too often, big companies don’t do the right thing. Wrongdoers escape responsibility. Nothing changes to prevent future catastrophes.
Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin didn’t think this was acceptable.
In this powerful documentary, we take a behind-the-scenes look at how Kurt and Jason aggressively fight for their clients. How Arnold & Itkin takes on some of the country’s biggest corporations—those responsible for some of the most catastrophic disasters—and wins. #findingjustice
AI is about to get even better! Stay tuned next week as we share some exciting news about #TheAITeam.
