Dylan Danielson, Two Children Lost in Freemont, NE Manufacturing Plant Fire. (WOWT.com)

Freemont, NE NEWS – A manufacturing plant explosion and fire late Tuesday morning, July 29, 2025, tragically claimed three lives.

As reported by KETV.com, “[t]he explosion happened on Tuesday at [a manufacturing plant], located near East Cloverly Road and South Union Street.”

According to the report, “[f]ire crews were called to the scene at 11:56 a.m. on Tuesday after a report of an explosion. According to authorities, upon arrival, fire crews saw a large amount of smoke and flames as well as major structural damage to the building. This prompted them to call in mutual aid from the rural fire department. The structural damage and mangled steel from the collapse prevented crews from entering the building, so Task Force One out of Lincoln was called in to survey the damage.”

WOWT.com is reporting, “[t]he fire left three family members dead, including two girls younger than 12. The body of 32-year-old Dylan D. Danielson of Columbus, Neb., was recovered at the site around noon Wednesday — about 24 hours after the explosion — The Dodge County Attorney has ordered an autopsy be conducted. The bodies of his two daughters were recovered Wednesday night.”

According to the report, “[a] preliminary investigation indicates an accidental dust explosion occurred during the manufacturing process. Additional investigation efforts are currently impeded due to the instability of the structure.”

Potential Legal Claims for Family of Dylan Danielson?

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of safety measures at the plant may have contributed to this incident.

What safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
When was the last inspection performed on the property?
Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the explosion?

As details of this explosion continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the plant failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those employees and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of a manufacturing plant have a duty to protect employees and guests and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the plant be found at fault, the family of Dylan Danielson may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Dylan Danielson retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence is preserved and the family’s best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and manufacturing plant negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Employees and vendors have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a work site. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Victor Ortiz Pegueros will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Victor Ortiz Pegueros should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Woodburn, OR News – A man tragically lost his life after a work related incident late Wednesday morning, June 4, 2025.

KGW.com is reporting, “[a] man is dead after a workplace accident at [a distribution center] late Wednesday morning. According to the Woodburn Police Department, around 11:39 a.m., police were called to the distribution center at 400 South Woodland Avenue.”

KATU.com is reporting, “[a]ccording to the preliminary investigation by Woodburn Police, the forklift operator, 39-year-old Christopher Ryan De Jesus, was inside a container on a semi. The semi driver started to drive off, apparently unaware that De Jesus was still inside. The movement caused the forklift to fall from the container, resulting in De Jesus’ death.”

The incident remains under investigation.

Potential Legal Claims for the Family of Christopher Ryan De Jesus?

OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Employees and vendors have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a work site. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Christopher Ryan De Jesus will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Christopher Ryan De Jesus should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
