Grantsville, UT – Woman Killed In Industrial Accident At Purple Mattress Factory On S. Sheep Ln

Grantsville, UT (May 13, 2021) – A woman in her 50s died on Thursday, May 13th during an industrial accident at a mattress manufacturing plant in Grantsville.

Emergency responders were called to the Purple Mattress factory in the 400 block of South Sheep Lane at about 4:40 p.m.  

Eyewitnesses told police that the woman was standing near one of the machines and got “pulled in” and snared in its moving parts. By the time first responders were able to extricate the woman from inside the machine, she was already dead.  

Her body was handed over to the Office of the Utah Medical Examiner, which is in charge of the investigation into the death. Video of the incident is also available and will be thoroughly examined as part of this investigation.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.

The major benefit of a personal injury lawsuit is that it entitles victims to compensation for pain and suffering, something not available under a simple worker’s compensation case. With a personal injury claim, victims may seek financial recovery for all of the damages they have sustained, including things such as lost wages, diminished earning capacity, medical costs, anticipated medical costs, lifelong disability, pain and suffering, hedonic damages (decreased quality of life), and many other things as well.

The benefits available through worker’s compensation, which, at its core, is nothing more than an agreement between labor and business owners, are extremely limited.

When victims pass away from injuries sustained in accidents caused by reckless, negligent, or careless drivers, their families may be entitled to compensation.
