Ellsworth man dies in Pierce County tractor accident

An Ellsworth man has died in a tractor accident in Pierce County of western Wisconsin. The Pierce County Sheriff's Department said in a statement Saturday that deputies were called to the scene in Salem Township southeast of Ellsworth about 10 p.m. Friday. They found 38-year-old Travis Anderson of Ellsworth near a tractor with unspecified traumatic injuries. Paramedics took Anderson to a nearby helicopter landing zone on U.S. Highway 10, where the Pierce County medical examiner pronounced him dead.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
