Family of Alabama Man Settles Wrongful Death Case

By admin

ADVERTISEMENTS

An accident took place on April 18, 2002, where Scott White died as a result of injuries suffered while working at construction site.  White was working with a construction company IM & MC, LLC, which was located in Dothan, Alabama.  The company was the general contractor on a job under contract with Georgia Pacific to remove and replace a portion of the roof on an old plywood building on Georgia Pacific’s premises in Cedar Springs, Georgia.  The roof of the building at the time was in a bad state of repair.

Scott White was performing work on the roof and fell through.  The incident occurred as Mr. White and another employee were carrying a large tin sheet.  White stepped on a rotten part of the roof, which gave way, causing him to fall through.  He died the following day.

A lawsuit for wrongful death was filed by the widow against the contractor and Georgia Pacific.  The case was settled after mediation on January 11, 2008.  The amount of the settlement was not disclosed.
