Dallas, TX, USA—A grieving family is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against a fabrication company after a forklift accident fatally killed their son. The Witherspoon Law Group is helping the family bring charges against True Blue Granite for the wrongful death of Demonte Fisher, a 22-year-old worker at the company. The Witherspoon Law Group is one of the country’s leading law firms in personal injury and wrongful death matters.
The incident took place on July 3rd when a forklift machine fell onto and crushed Fisher to death. The family has retained a wrongful death attorney from The Witherspoon Law Group to help them seek justice. The firm has already begun the process of investigating and trying to find out the circumstances leading to the death of the Fisher family’s son. True Blue Granite chose not to contact the family after the accident to provide any answers or show any remorse, despite the Fisher family attempting to make contact and leave messages. True Blue Granite is still in operation, and according to Occupation Safety and Health Administration, the company complied with the law when they reported the incident on July 4th. OSHA has launched a full investigation into the incident.
The Witherspoon Law Group have stated their intent is to obtain justice for Mr. Fisher and his loved ones. They also aim to make the workplace safer to ensure an incident like this never takes place again and to send a message to True Blue Granite. In a statement issued by the law firm, they claimed that the tragedy could have been avoided, but the lack of compassion shown by True Blue Granite in failing to contact the parents illustrates the lack of care and welfare for the safety of Mr. Fisher.

HOUSTON, TX (November 25, 2020) –– The Witherspoon Law Group has been hired by the family of a 71-year-old man who was killed in a car crash on Saturday, November 21 after a Houston Police Department SUV crashed into his vehicle. Surveillance footage shows that Walter Cooper’s Cadillac was struck by the Houston PD patroller, which was traveling at high speed with no lights or sirens.
“You can clearly see from the video, and the impact of the collision, this officer was doing well beyond the posted speed limit. Without their sirens. There’s no lights there’s nothing. That’s just a complete lack of care and disregard and a level of recklessness for the community,” said family attorney Nuru Witherspoon.
The team of professionals at The Witherspoon Law Group is working tirelessly to hold the Houston PD responsible for the irreparable harm which has been caused by the victim’s untimely, wrongful death.
“There was a person behind the car. A person who was loved. He was very instrumental in the care of my children— my children could have been in that car,” said Cooper’s daughter, Dr. Brandi Cooper-Lewis.
Victims of fatal auto accidents die in Texas far too often. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were no deathless days on Texas roadways in 2019. Last year, Texas car crashes claimed the life of one person every 2 hours and 26 minutes, and 284 people were killed in traffic crashes involving speed.
“To have his life taken, so egregiously and so irresponsibly, it’s just terrible,” said Rev. Lawrence Cooper, son of Walter Cooper.
