The caller indicated that the victim was unresponsive, not breathing, and was in serious distress. The Fitchburg Police and Fire Department, as well as Fitch-Rona EMS, responded to the scene located at 6061 Basswood Dr. where they pulled the man out from the equipment he was trapped in. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate the unconscious victim but were unable to do so. He died from his injuries at the scene.
The accident took place at a company called Sub-Zero Group on Basswood Drive. The accident occurred when the victim was conducting “routine performance” at approximately 8:14 p.m.
OSHA was called in to investigate this fatal accident which is the standard procedure for all fatal workplace accidents. Representatives from Sub-Zero are also being questioned. The Fitchburg Police Department is still investigating the details of the accident.
We offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with them.
Wrongful Death Accidents In Fitchburg
In Wisconsin, a three- year statute of limitations exists to file a wrongful death claim, with some rare exceptions to the timeframe. If you don’t file in the allotted timeframe, you will lose your ability to recover compensation for your damages. Section 895 of the Wisconsin statute indicates that death resulting from neglect, wrongful acts, or default is considered “wrongful death.”
If you lost a loved one in an accident you may have a case to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf and obtain compensation for damages associated with your loss.
