An industrial accident at a paper mill site has claimed the life of a man in the Isle of Wight, Virginia.
Just before 1 p.m., on October 5, 2012, emergency personnel responded to the scene of a man trapped under a crane on the International Paper property, according to the Daily Press.
The man was taken to Southampton Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries, Robertson said. The man is from outside the area and worked for another company using the International Paper site.
As experienced Virginia industrial accident injury lawyers, we have represented clients who have been hurt in a variety of accidents and family members of people killed who have brought wrongful death actions.
Hampton Roads sees a number of industrial accidents every year given the large number of ship yards, rail yards and other facilities in cities such as Portsmouth, Norfolk and Newport News, VA.
Some of these make headlines. For instance, in January 2011 an experienced worker died at Branscome Inc., an asphalt and concrete plant on West Pembroke Avenue in Hampton, VA. When he got stuck in a piece of operating equipment, Fox 43 reported.
