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:

  1. What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
  2. Did any such safety features fail?
  3. Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
  4. What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
  5. Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
  6. 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 Andrew Williams Morgan 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 Andrew Williams Morgan should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
