Death comes in many different forms. Wrongful death is even more devastating. The young girl involved in this accident was in the wrong place at the wrong time; an accident that should not have happened in the first place but for the negligence of a forklift operator. “The five-year-old girl killed in this accident was hitching a ride on a forklift, along with four other kids.
