I’ve been working the press since I was 18 years old. The explosion was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. It was intense. I was just working in my area and all of a sudden I heard a boom. My mind just told me to start running. I took it as a cause to run, and when I ran and happened to look back, I saw fire everywhere.
I thought I would never see my kids again. I thought it was my last day on this planet. I was afraid for my life — I’ve never been that afraid before. The way my mind is set and the way I feel, I could never work in a plant again in my life.
The company never offered anything. They didn’t keep any of their promises to us. They lied to us and started sending us back into the plant. That’s when I couldn’t perform my job anymore and had to leave. The company was more focused on protecting their assets and their money. They didn’t care about us.
Working with Zehl & Associates was a good experience. They took care of me. They called me just to check in, to see how I was doing. It wasn’t just a business thing — I felt like they became a part of me. They stuck to their word and took care of me when I was in need, not just benefiting me but treating me like a person. They answered my calls and didn’t dodge me.
I would definitely recommend Zehl & Associates to anyone. I really, really would, because they stand behind what they say and they do what they promise as well.
