Suit Filed for Man Killed in a Terminal Tractor Accident

Arnold & Itkin attorneys Kurt Arnold, Roland Christensen, Alec Paradowski, Sam Long, and Jim Long have filed a suit on behalf of a family who has lost their brother and son in a workplace accident. The man was run over by a Triumph “shag truck”, or terminal tractor, while the truck driver was backing up.

Triumph operates one of the largest pork processing facilities in the world in St. Joseph, Missouri, and this company has a responsibility to ensure that all drivers at its facility are aware of their surroundings so as to avoid tragic incidents like this one.

Arnold & Itkin knows that at large facilities like this one, safety often takes a back seat to speed and efficiency. When a company’s careless hiring practices and failure to adequately train their workers result in unsafe working conditions and preventable tragedies, they must be held accountable to prevent such irresponsibility and disasters from happening again. Our wrongful death attorneys look forward to helping this family seek justice and hold Triumph accountable for this tragic incident.
