Now the victim's family members are suing for rights, claiming up to 370 million dollars from Pike Company!
The court's verdict has also been issued, categorizing this accident as due to inadequate safety measures, requiring a minimum compensation of 7.6 million US dollars for each deceased employee's household, plus a 3 million dollar fine and deposit to continue operations.
With twelve households, that's 91.2 million dollars, plus the loss of the plant and customer resource turnover, the company almost declared direct bankruptcy!
How much of this lawyers' firms' profited and took is not the subject here, but definitely, not so much reached those families, maybe just a couple million dollars, but Pike Resource Recycling Company indeed bled, having sold several recycling plants.
They now owe the bank 20 million in debt. They could have their assets seized at any time.
