Kurt Arnold is a renowned trial attorney and co-founder of Arnold & Itkin LLP - one of the most successful personal injury law firms in the U.S. Since founding Arnold & Itkin at 25, he has set multiple records for his verdicts and settlements, which have resulted in more than $10 billion being won for his clients. He has represented clients across the nation in cases involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, workplace accidents, and many other areas of personal injury law. Kurt's achievements have changed lives across the country, helping everyone from plant accident survivors to maritime workers injured offshore.

Kurt believes results matter. In Louisiana, he secured a $117 million verdict for a woman left paralyzed in an ambulance accident - the largest single-plaintiff verdict ever awarded in Louisiana history. In Texas, Kurt secured one of the largest verdicts ever won for an amputee: $44 million. He also secured one of largest verdicts in Hawaii state history: $42 million. On behalf of plant explosion victims, he tried two cases back-to-back, spending weeks at trial because the defendant's company refused to admit they were in the wrong. Kurt won 8-figure verdicts in both cases that eventually let to a 9-figure settlement.

Some of Kurt's other notable recoveries for individual clients include $125 million, $92.7 million, $87 million, $81 million, $78 million, $77.5 million, $72 million, and $68 million. He has also set Texas and Louisiana records with settlements of $357.7 and $171 million for workplace accidents, as well as a $193 million settlement for two offshore workers injured on the job and a $139 million settlement after an onshore blast.

His results have shattered records across the country including:

• Largest settlement for an individual burned at a worksite in United States history


• Largest settlement for a wrongful death case in United States history


• Largest settlement for a man killed offshore in United States history


• Largest settlement for Jones Act injured seaman in United States history


• Largest settlement for families injured in a plant explosion in United States history


• Largest settlement for an undocumented worker in United States history


• Largest settlement for a worker injured in Texas oilfield


• Largest jury verdicts in multiple states throughout the country

Kurt's work has even led to multiple, nationwide recalls for unsafe products. He has also helped clients recover losses after notable maritime disasters such as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the El Faro tragedy.

When he's asked what made it possible for him to achieve so much for his clients, Kurt's answer is simple: hard work, preparation, and he cares about his clients' futures.

Kurt has been awarded the highest honors of the legal profession, including:

• Repeated inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America list for Admiralty and Maritime Law, Personal Injury Litigation, and other practice areas


• Inclusion in the National Top 50 Elite Trial Lawyers list by The National Law Journal


• Named one of Lawdragons 500 Leading Lawyers in America


• Membership in the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invite-only organization of the top 100 plaintiff lawyers in the United States

Kurt is an exemplary trial attorney with a long track record of success inside and outside the courtroom. But it's his integrity and refusal to back down in the face of seemingly unbeatable opponents that compel clients to put their trust in Kurt.

Kurt lives in Houston with his wife Tara and their children Jaxon and Isla. Kurt and his family attend St. Paul's Methodist Church and are founders of the Arnold & Itkin Foundation, a nonprofit that works with numerous charities.
