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 business. 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 Arlen Vargas 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. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Arlen Vargas should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Safety Failure? Clinton Martin Work Accident.

We have over 25 years of experience representing victims of work accidents and safety failures across the United States, and we have recovered nearly $250 million dollars for our Clients.  Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available to the family of Clinton Devon Martin.

Newmanstown, PA News – A man tragically lost his life after a work related incident Thursday afternoon, November 7, 2024.

LDnews.com is reporting, “[e]mergency responders were dispatched around 9:44 a.m. to [the business] in the 100 block of Stricklerstown Loop Road for a person trapped under a skid loader.”

Fox43.com is reporting, “Clinton Devon Martin, 35, from Robesonia, was evaluated at the scene and first responders reportedly found no signs of life. Workers reportedly found Martin pinned under a skid loader. The skid loader’s engine was turned on and running at the time but workers were able to use equipment to lift the machine from the male victim.

According to the report, “[i]t is believed that the 35-year-old was working under the elevated arms of the skid loader when a hydraulic line burst, causing the skid loader’s arms to drop and pin the worker.”

The investigation is ongoing.

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 business. 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 Clinton Devon Martin 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. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Clinton Devon Martin should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
