A South Georgia man was killed in Thomas County while on the job in a farming accident on Friday. According to the Macon Telegraph, the man was crushed by cotton seeds after falling into the back of a trailer while the seeds were being poured into the trailer.

Thomas County sheriff’s investigator Pascal Autrey reported that the victim, 32-year-old Victor Chavez, was unloading cotton seeds from the trailer at the Boston Gin Company on Friday when the accident occurred. According to Autrey, it took investigators between 15 and 20 minutes to find the victim.

The Sheriff’s office stresses that workers are to be reminded to review accident protocols to avoid accidents on the job.

Chris Hudson and his office are efficient and show you that your case matters.

Chris Hudson and Jenna Hough are a winning combination. If you want professional and competent representation, look no further. As a Georgia resident, Chris handled an accident case for me in 2014 that originated in South Carolina. It was reassuring to know that he was very familiar with both jurisdictions. A year later and through no fault of my own, I found myself in a very difficult situation. Jenna remembered me and Chris came to the rescue. My situation was quickly resolved with his immediate involvement.

Mr. Hudson’s entire team has been wonderful to work with for personal and professional concerns. I have always had messages returned in a timely manner and felt as though all of my concerns were addressed and covered. Mr. Hudson has always treated me like I matter to him and his associates. I highly recommend giving them a call and seeing how friendly and well taken care of you will feel after!!

This place and its staff is amazing. They respond quickly, are extremely attentive and answer any and all questions in a timely matter. Needless to say they know what they are doing and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you once again the Chris Hudson and his wonderful staff, namely Jennifer.

Accepted me as a client after my first lawyer failed me miserably. Took care of the things I needed and handled my case very professionally. Great group of people!
