A student from Auburn University died after the tractor he was working on went over an embankment and killed him. The student was working for a local club and was attempting to pull a blower when the accident happened. When dealing with a wrongful death or work-related accident, an experienced personal injury attorney can help file any necessary claims on your behalf so you can recover the compensation you deserve for your loved one’s injuries.
The 23-year-old was flown by helicopter to The Medical Center in Columbus, Georgia, but was taken off life support just after 7:00 p.m. Hospital staff says that the cause of death was blunt head trauma, or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Work-related accidents like this can be heartbreaking for the surviving family, and often the last thing people think about is recovering compensation for the loss of their loved one. Unfortunately, there is a finite amount of time for your family to recover damages in a wrongful death case like this. A wrongful death attorney will work with the hospital, authorities, and insurance companies to help you get the compensation you need. You may be able to recover damages for:
- Pain and Suffering
- Loss of Income
- Medical Costs
- Funeral Costs
