An Interesting Resource for Wrongful Death Cases

In my last blog post, I talked about how victims of industrial accidents need to reference their company’s safety handbook when building their cases. Well, if a victim has actually died from the incident, family members as well as their attorney can compare this information with the info found on Fatal Facts.

Once you get to the site, you’ll notice it lists 73 of the most common industrial accidents. If any of these accidents apply to your loved one, click on the appropriate link. For example, if your loved one died of electrocution, you would click on the “Electrocution” link.

There are two sections that are of interest for wrongful death cases: Inspection Results and Accident Prevention Recommendations. The Inspection Results explains why the accident occurs, while the other section explains steps employers can do to prevent the casualties. This can be very helpful when trying to show how an employer failed to protect their workers.
Your attorney may want to continue their research by studying the resources given in the Sources of Help section. You might want to study them too, as it will keep you abreast as to what is going on. Remember, even though your attorney is doing most of the legwork, you definitely don’t want to appear as if you know nothing of the law.

I do want to make one cautionary note. If family members are just dealing with a wrongful death situation, looking at some of the images on Fatal Facts might be extremely painful. While they aren’t gory or even in the form of a photograph, they do show how these accidents kill. So, if a wrongful death situation is in its earliest stages, the family’s attorney should take a look at the site for them.
