The family of Johnny Peterson, a father of four, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Impact Plastics, accusing the company of putting profit above employee safety. The lawsuit claims that during Hurricane Helene, workers were not informed they could leave until it was too late, and there was no emergency action plan in place, despite the factory being in a known flood zone. Tragically, Peterson lost his life in the floodwaters.
This devastating case highlights the urgent need for companies to prioritize safety, especially in disaster-prone areas, to prevent such heartbreaking losses.
