Family Sues Napoleon Junkyard After Fatal Explosion
In November of 2017, an unspeakable tragedy struck a contractor who was servicing a vehicle at Hogrefe Auto Parts in Henry County. Following the incident, the contractor suffered burns beyond recognition and later died after the gas tank he was working near erupted into flames.
After this accident, the federal agency which governs workplace accidents and safety, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, fined Hogrefe Auto Parts $75,016.

The estate is represented by the compassionate legal team at Charles Boyk Law. The lawsuit seeks a judgment in excess of $25,000 along with punitive damages.
