According to an online article in The Oklahoman<\/em>, a 30-year-old man was killed in a work related accident at a lime plant. The employee was pulled into a grinder machine used for grinding lime and other minerals for a lime plant corporation as three men performed maintenance on the machine. The employee was killed instantly during the on-the-job accident. <\/p>\n

Based on the report, rescue workers had to partially dismantle the machine in order to recover the employee\u2019s body. The cause of the accident is still under investigation by the Mine and Safety Health Administration. Statistics from the Oklahoma State Department of Health indicate that 21% of occupational fatalities were due to machine-related deaths between 1998 and 2006. <\/p>\n

Families who lose loved ones in work related accidents caused by another person\u2019s negligence may be able to seek financial assistance through workers\u2019 compensation benefits. However, in some instances, a wrongful death lawsuit may also be filed if a third party is determined to hold accountability. <\/p>\n

The wrongful death attorneys of Maples Law Firm have extensive experience in obtaining compensation for family members of wrongful death victims. While no amount of money will ever replace the loss of a loved one, compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and even lost earnings can help a family get back on their feet.<\/p>\n
