Schulman Zimmerman just completed a three week trial in New Philadelphia, Ohio on behalf of Sandra Romig and her four children arising out of the tragic death of Mrs. Romig’s husband Bob. He was killed when a cradle of one ton propane tanks tipped off the upper deck of his two level trailer and crushed him while making a delivery in New Hampshire for Worthington Cylinder Corporation. At trial, Allen and Brian proved that fundamental principles of safety were violated by Worthington when its loader placed the cradles on Bob’s trailer. Recognizing that having written safety rules and, more importantly, following and enforcing safety rules at work save lives, the jury allowed compensation to Mrs. Romig and her family in the amount of $3.7 million.

In summation to the jury, we told them that when we send our husbands, wives, or loved ones off to work or school in the morning, we expect them to return to us safe and sound at the end of the day. And we expect that the safety of our loved ones will be paramount and that safety must never be sacrificed for profits.

We were privileged to have been the voice for Mrs. Romig and her family. But more significantly, we commend the jury for their remarkable dedication to justice. To learn more about this case, go to :
