Orlando, FL (November 4, 2018) - A man died after an industrial accident in Orlando on Friday, November 3rd.
Just before 10:00 am, deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to a call from a business on Young Pine Road. Police and fire officials arrived on scene to discover a man pinned beneath a dump trailer. The man was pronounced dead on the scene. Officials have not yet released his identity pending notification of his next of kin. At this time, it is not clear exactly how the man became pinned beneath the trailer.
An investigation into the death remains ongoing and no additional information is currently available.
In 2016, there were a total of 309 fatal work injuries reported in Florida. Among industries, the construction and waste service industries had the highest rate of work-related fatalities.
When a work-related fatality takes place, a thorough investigation will follow. The investigation will focus on the cause of the death and whether the death could have been prevented. Industrial workplaces are regulated by various safety laws and codes which prohibit the use of practices which could cause death or serious bodily injury to those on site. If these practices are violated, the deceased person's next of kin could potentially file a wrongful death claim.
