Yesterday, yet another person lost their life as a result of an elevator accident. According to news reports, on January 6, 2020, a 36-year-old man died as a result of what was described as a “falling elevator” at the Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing plant in Guntersville, Alabama. While no information has been released as to what caused the elevator to fall or any additional details surrounding this tragedy, it is obvious this should never happen.
Unfortunately, this elevator accident is not the first of its kind and regrettably will not be the last. Cash Krugler Fredericks has represented multiple families and individuals around the country who have lost loved ones or suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of elevator accidents. These tragedies are almost always preventable and are regularly the result of either the manufacturer’s negligence or the negligence of those tasked with inspecting and servicing the equipment. Through our handling of these cases and our efforts in fighting for improved safety standards, Cash Krugler Fredericks is all too familiar with the design defects and negligent repairs that commonly plague elevators, as well as the affordable “fixes” that often could prevent these types of tragedies.
Our hearts go out to the family of this young man.
