Don’t “Rollover” When Your Finances Can’t Withstand Your Lawsuit

A U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspection has found that a Milwaukee leather manufacturer failed have proper safety measures in place February 1, 2015 when a 1,500-poind steel roller crushed and killed a maintenance worker. The man was inspecting the machine’s bearing when the tragedy occurred. He suffered fatal head and neck injuries as a result. It has been determined that proper safety guards would have stopped the roller from moving during service and maintenance. OSHA cited the company for 19 serious safety violations.

According to Christine Zortman, OSHA's area director in Milwaukee, “manufacturer-installed guards and industry-standard locking devices protect workers from operating machinery. Yet, each year thousands of workers are injured or killed because employers ignore machine hazards and do not train workers on safety procedures."

In most cases, immediately after the death of a loved one, a lawsuit is the furthest thing from the minds of family members. While no lawsuit can bring the loved one back, it may be worth it for the family to consult an attorney who has experience in workplace accident cases. Once a lawsuit is filed in a situation like this, if there is no life insurance, savings, or other funding sources, the family may be an excellent candidate for lawsuit funding.
