Clayton County News

A motor vehicle accident involving a vehicle and an asphalt crew tragically resulted in the death of a young man Tuesday morning, May 14, 2019.

According to WSBtv.com, “[a]n asphalt worker was hit and killed while working on Tara Boulevard in Clayton County…the asphalt company was paving Tara Boulevard between Lovejoy and McDonough when the crash happened.”  According to the news story, “[p]olice identified the worker as Justin Bagley, 28.”  The driver of the vehicle that hit Mr. Bagley did stay on the scene and according to the report, charges are pending against the driver.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, the family of Justin Bagley may elect to seek justice and file a civil claim for their loss.  Based upon its extensive experience and success handling these types of motor vehicle claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that Mr. Bagley’s family should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the roadways and vehicles involved and a review of surveillance footage from nearby businesses or properties, if any exists, will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.  Under Georgia Workers’ Compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Justin Bagley will also most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this work accident as well.

Did an equipment malfunction contribute to this work related death and are justice and compensation available to the family of Danny Roth?

OGLETHORPE COUNTY NEWS

A crane collapse at a Oglethorpe County, Georgia rock quarry left one worker dead on Monday morning, May 13, 2019.  

According to WYFF4.com, “a crane accident was reported…at [a] Quarry on Allgood Road…the crane fell off the ledge down into the quarry killing one person.”  AccessWDUN.com is reporting, ” the collapse happened around 11:30 a.m., killing the crane’s operator Danny Roth, 58, Carlton.”  Mr. Roth was pronounced dead at the scene according to the report.

The investigation is ongoing.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Under Georgia Workers’ Compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Danny Roth will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While Mr. Roth’s family should be eligible for benefits under Georgia’s workers compensation laws, they may also hold a third-party civil claim against the designer or manufacturer of the crane that collapsed. Because this potential products liability claim is dependent on the facts surrounding the incident, it is imperative that an experienced attorney be retained without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the accident is preserved.

Did an equipment malfunction contribute to this work related death and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family?

According to TheBrunswickNews.com, “A man was killed Monday afternoon on St. Simons Island during a work accident at a company off Sea Island Road.”  The news story reports, “[t]he man was operating a crane lifting a large slab of marble…[t]he slab of marble fell onto the man.”  The man was taken by ambulance to “Southeast Georgia Health System’s Brunswick hospital, where he was pronounced dead.”  The death was ruled accidental according to the report.

The investigation is ongoing.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Under Georgia Workers’ Compensation law, our legal team suggests that the family of the victim will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. The victim’s family will be eligible for benefits under Georgia’s workers compensation laws, but they may also hold a third party civil claim against the manufacturer of the machine that the victim was operating at the time of his death. Because this potential products liability claim is dependent on the facts surrounding the incident, it is imperative that an experienced attorney be retained without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the accident is preserved.
