Camilla, GA News – A woman tragically lost her life after a poultry plant explosion late Thursday night, December 26, 2024.

MyJournalCourier.com is reporting, “[a] woman died and two other people were hospitalized with injuries after an overnight fire at a [poultry plant] in southwest Georgia.”

According to the report, “[a] wall fell on the cab of an 18-wheel truck parked outside the plant…killing the wife of a truck driver who was asleep inside.”

WRDW.com is reporting, “[h]eavy equipment was required to remove debris from the truck and [Mitchell County Coroner] said the woman’s body wasn’t recovered until about 2 p.m. Friday. [The Coroner] declined to state a cause of death for the woman, and said an autopsy would be performed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Monday. At the time of the explosion, her husband was inside the building.”

Per the report, “[t]he Mitchell County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim as 61-year-old Bajarma Batozhatov from Las Vegas.”

OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Employees, vendors and guests have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a worksite. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Bajarma Batozhapov will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim against the manufacturer or designer of any equipment involved in the incident. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Bajarma Batozhapov should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
