Virginia Worker Killed in Forklift Accident; Concerns at Kansas City Warehouse for Worker Safety

At Roswold Law Group, we know work related accidents can happen anywhere at anytime. We also know there are certainly some jobs that are far more dangerous than others. Chemical plants, warehouses and factories are some the most dangerous places to work. A tragic accident at the APM Terminals in Portsmouth, VA. showed us why.

A 38 year-old woman was killed in a work related injury accident when she was struck by a fork lift while acting as the "slinger" on a project.  The woman was standing on a dock using a radio to guide a crane operator when she was suddenly struck by the fork lift.  The driver of the fork lift had their vision obsturcted and couldn't see the woman.  She was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
