Families of the victims are welcome to reach out to McEldrew Purtell for help and support as they seek answers after this fatal work zone crash.

Victims of an industrial machine injury may be entitled to more than workers' compensation. Crush injuries, amputations, burns, and workplace deaths demand a closer look at what actually failed.

- Was the machine defective?
- Was a safety guard missing?
- Did another company improperly service, design, install, or maintain the equipment?

Depending on the facts, there may be a third-party claim beyond the employer. Serious machine injury cases need early investigation before evidence disappears. Contact McEldrew Purtell to discuss what happened.

What families can expect after hiring counsel in a catastrophic injury or wrongful death case:

The first 30 days can shape the entire case. Families should expect frequent communication and updates from us as we work to request necessary records, preserve evidence, identify witnesses, and test the facts early. Serious cases are built on facts gathered quickly, before documents disappear, memories shift, or critical proof is lost.

That first month is often about protecting the claim and giving the family a clear understanding of what comes next.

During this time, families can expect our team to:

• Listen closely to what happened and how it has affected their lives
• Engage experts and conduct necessary investigations
• Identify and protect key evidence
• Gather and organize medical, employment, and other important records
• Handle communications with insurers and other involved parties
• Provide clear, realistic guidance on next steps
