Mabton Man Dies in an Accident While Operating Front End Loader
The man was found dead once officers arrived to the scene.
Vasquez was driving a loader near Riverview Ranch’s dairy waste pond, and accidentally let the wheels slip over the edge, causing the loader to fall into the pond onto its side. The vehicle was submerged in the dairy wastewater, and Vasquez, who was trapped in the closed cab of it, drowned in the pond.
What money damages are recoverable in a death claim?
Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection.
