Reply #42: When my husband was killed due to mismanagement [View All]

[Mari333]

of a large, and I mean Large company that was negligent in their OSHA standards, was negligent in their hiring (Raygun era), was negligent in every way, lawyers did descend on my little house..over 12 people were injured horribly at the site and my husband was thrown 300 feet threw the air and all of his internal organs collapsed and he died at the age of 36...
had it not been for lawyers, I would not have been able to take care of my 3 small children at the time..or ever
would we like daddy back? HELL YES///no amount of monies can replace daddy..nothing can
But we couldnt bring daddy back to life..in retrospect, the only way large corporations and large inhumane businesses who dont give a shit about workers ever learn is if you hit them where it hurts..
I even asked the lawyer..can I go in front of the CEOs with my sons and actually show them who we are as human beings, maybe create a conciensce where there was none?
He said no and seemed surprised..I know lawyers make money..Im not naieve...but a young man who was in the prime of his life and who I loved very much was mowed down by a negligent company who didnt care..yes, we need lawyers. Yes, there should be no cap imo as to what people who are in similar situations have to endure.
When I think of what Union Carbide did in India to the thousands of people who were killed in that explosion ..and they had NO ONE to represent them ,..NO ONE...
There are damned good lawyers out there and crappy ones too
Bu$sh only cares about keeping his corporate friends happy...the CEOs never saw my kids, never saw the trauma my babies went thru, and werent there with me when I had to wake them up one morning and tell them their daddy was dead.
One day in my shoes for them Just one day.
