references on transportation accidents involving farmworkers

[Guest guest]

If anyone has any references on transportation accidents involving

farmworkers I would appreciate seeing them or getting the reference so I can

look it up. Mimi was good enough to furnish me with plenty of articles

about the Aug. 99 accident in California. I remember some time before that

an accident in Colorado? If you do have this either electronically or in

paper format I would appreciate seeing it.

Thanks!

There was an accident in Lake County Florida in which migrant farmworkers were

killed in a van driven by a crew chief in about 1988 or 1989. I remember the

case because Florida Rural Legal Services was successful in having charges

brought against not only the crew chief, but also the farm that had hired the

crew.

another way of potentially finding out about accidents involving farmworkers

(particulary if death was the outcome) is to contact the Mexican Consulates.

They often have to deal with the legal issues of notifying familes and

issueing documentation if the body needs to be transported to Mexico (if the

deceased is a mexican national).
