Families whose loved ones are killed on the job are often devastated emotionally and financially. When an individual willfully kills another person, he may face a life behind bars. But when companies neglect the health and safety of their employees, resulting in tragic loss of life, they may  receive little more than a slap on the wrist. The court system often provides the only recourse for these families to obtain the justice they deserve.
