This is a simple workers compensation case. Crump is just bull sh*ting and probably charging the family a huge fee.
“same sepia tone “
Remember it well.
But the closest I ever came to driving through a tornado was here in Maryland. I was driving home after work and they were reporting a nado about 20 miles away then I saw a huge tree flying across the road I was driving on!
Kept driving. Had 2 kidlets at home and had to get them to the basement.
He was probably going to make big OT pay and he was not forced to come in...just say no
I must admit, I also struggle with the advice in case of a tornado to leave your vehicle and lie down in a low spot during rain. I’m going to GTFO which seems like a much better option.
The tornado is to blame, not the employer. How would Amazon know a tornado was going to hit the warehouse? Would it be her son’s fault if he’d stayed home and the tornado killed him there?
“Deep pockets attract foul-smelling beasts.”
“You may be eligible for ample financial compensation”.
You lost Me at “Benjamin Crump”.

Wanna bet ?
(color me somewhat cynical)
Wouldn’t it make more sense to shout at the tornado?
I mean Amazon didn’t just invite the tornado in. Sure dont think they wanted it to destroy their warehouse and employees.
She shouldnt be out making such statements if shes actually mourning. Seems like you have to have another agenda going on to take you away from family and mkurning to do what she did.
This is a nuisance lawsuit.
The attorney should be disbarred.
Even mighty Amazon cannot control the weather.
I thought the low spot during rain thing was if you are on a golf course or any open space during a bad lightning storm.

But Amazon can build basements in Tornado Alley. That ain’t hard.
Grew up in Tornado Alley. A Basement is just plain common sense.
Not having one is negligent.
The truck factory in North Texas where I worked had 18” reinforced cement “Islands” throughout the plant. They served as bathrooms, offices and medical. Each had at least to doors and were just short walks from anywhere in the plant. In 33 years we real short walk alert 6 times and drills once a year. Long waks were fire drills and you went outside, had two real ones of those but they were just minor.
Because they knew the conditions were favorable for a tornado?
The locality could easily have required such a basement in their building code.
If they did not then the plaintiff should sue the local authorities.
If you live in Southern Illinois, you are rolling the dice every year that a tornado catches you. And those tornado warnings don’t give you a 3 day “heads up” like hurricane warnings.
If Amazon can’t operate when conditions are favorable for a tornado, then they have to close their facilities in Southern Illinois, and quite a few other states, for probably 3 months a year. Americans aren’t going to wait that long for their cheap crap deliveries.
Some other poster noted they really should have had a basement/shelter, and that’s probably the real negligence at play here.
