Washington Widow Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit After Hunting Accident

A Washington State woman is suing a hunter as well as three companies following the shooting death of her husband in a Mason County forest in September 2011. A hunter mistook the woman’s husband for a bear.

According to the Tacoma News-Tribune, 24-year-old Carlos Pablo-Carrillo was collecting salal in the woods for a several companies who use the plant in floral arrangements. At the same time, Washington resident Gerald Aldrich was hunting bear in the same area. Aldrich mistook Pablo-Carrillo for an animal and shot and killed him.

Although Aldrich was found innocent of manslaughter after a trial earlier this month, he, along with Pablo-Carrillo’s three employers, will now face a Washington wrongful death lawsuit filed by widow Marta Gomez-Mendoza. The lawsuit states that the Kirk Company of Tacoma, Two Noble Guys of Shelton, and Hiawatha, Inc., of Shelton should not have allowed their employees to gather plants on the same land where hunters were also present. The lawsuit also states that Aldrich should have made a positive ID of its target before shooting.

The hunter was not made aware of the presence of workers in the area, and the workers were not wearing hunter’s orange.

The wrongful death attorneys at the Andrew Kim Law Firm send their condolences to Marta Gomez-Mendoza as well as Pablo-Carrillo’s other family members and loved ones.
