Wrongful Death Settlement Announcement
Attorney Erik Porcaro Secures a $1,800,000 Settlement for Wrongful Death
HOLDING COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE
For one local family, a single moment changed everything. At Rutter Mills, we understand that a wrongful death case is never just about numbers—it’s about accountability, dignity, and honoring a life that should not have been cut short.
Personal Injury Attorney, Erik Porcaro recently secured a $1.8 million settlement on behalf of a family who lost a loved one following a tragic accident. The accident resulted in devasting injuries which ultimately took the life of a parent. When the company responsible refused to compensate the family for their loss, they turned to Rutter Mills for help.
We Hold Corporations Responsible
This case is a powerful reminder that when corporations don’t follow safety rules, people get hurt. The consequences of their negligence are not abstract or theoretical—they are deeply personal and often life-altering. Safety regulations exist to protect real people, and when companies cut corners, ignore warnings, or prioritize profits over compliance, it is individuals and families who pay the price through preventable injuries and lasting harm. Accountability in these moments is essential, not only to secure justice for those affected, but to reinforce the responsibility corporations have to operate with care, integrity, and respect for human safety.
