The brick-layer was judgment proof and had no workers compensation insurance, and the mortar mixer manufacturer was defunct. Nix Patterson turned their attention to the seller of the mortar mixer and developed evidence demonstrating that the mixer was unreasonably dangerous because it had no emergency cut-off switch, no guard to prevent a worker from being caught by the mixer, and was powerful enough to crush a worker\u2019s chest. Such dangerous equipment is not allowed to exist in any other industry. Nix Patterson is convinced that dangerous machines such as this mortar mixer are allowed to exist because many manual laborers are poorly educated and often immigrants who do not know their rights, but are treated as disposable if they are injured. Through its representation of Jesus Martinez\u2019s widow and family, Nix Patterson has helped protect the rights of one manual laborers. Nix Patterson has also continued its protection of poorly educated and immigrant works and has begun a campaign against dangerous construction equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[],"tags":[],"news_attorney_categories":[],"news_categories":[17,18],"news_practice_areas":[314],"news_years":[34],"class_list":["post-994","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news_categories-case-update","news_categories-client-results","news_years-34"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>$3M Mortar Mixer Death Settlement | Nix Patterson<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nixlaw.com\/practice-areas\/product-liability-lawyers-2\/nix-patterson-recovers-3-million-dollars-for-the-family-of-a-man-killed-by-a-mortar-mixer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"$3M Mortar Mixer Death Settlement | Nix Patterson\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"When Jesus Martinez was trapped and killed by a mortar mixer on his first day working as a brick layer\u2019s helper, Nix Patterson stepped in to help his widow, Brenda Valdez-Martinez, and his children, Aaron, Jonathon, and Evelyn Martinez.
