Potential Legal Claims for the Victims and Families Impacted by the Givaudan Sense Colour Explosion?

OUR LEGAL TAKE

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 safety 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 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 families of the victims and any injured victims 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 and victims in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the families should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
