Montana Worker Shocked On The Job Limited To Workers' Compensation Benefiits



Question: Can I sue the employer after a 220 electric shock, and is now having Epilepsy seizures?
Question Detail: I was cleaning a fry holder. Unknown to anyone there was a 220 plug in top corner covered by aluminum foil. When I touched it my world has been stopped, can't do the small things I loved (Drawing, working with show dogs, etc.)




Answer:  You should have filed a workers compensation claim within one year in Montana.  Your world didn’t stop if you still are working.  You will have to prove your epilepsy was caused by the shock.  That may be difficult.  Only your neurologist can help you win workers comp medical.  You can’t sue for loss of drawing or working with show dogs.

Missoula County Officials Seek Witnesses To Fatal Arlee Crash


The Missoula County coroner has identified the 21-year-old woman who died in Sunday’s multi-vehicle crash on Evaro Hill as Joscelyn Lea Cook of Plains.
Cook was a passenger in a Ford Ranger pickup truck, which was the second vehicle struck by a Toyota pickup truck driven by a 21-year-old Arlee man.
In total, six people and three pickup trucks were involved in the crash when the Toyota drifted across the center line of U.S. Highway 93 at mile marker 5 and struck a Dodge pickup truck with three passengers in the southbound lane and the Ford Ranger, which carried two passengers, including Cook, said Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Philip Smart.
The driver of the Toyota, who initiated the crash, remains hospitalized. The other victims of the crash have been treated and released from St. Patrick Hospital.
No charges have been filed, as the crash is still under investigation.
Neither alcohol nor road conditions are believed to be factors in the collision.
The Montana Highway Patrol would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the Toyota pickup just before the collision happened.

The investigators need to forensically evaluate the cell phone of the driver of the Toyota truck.  The proof will be there if there was texting in progress.
