- 1971 wrongful-death lawsuit Fisher v. Albany Machine & Supply Co., et. al. involves a 1965 accident in Louisiana where a worker was killed by a piece of wood ejected from an Albany trimmer. The link does not cover the judgement of the main suit but rather a hearing regarding jurisdictional issues. The judge found that, in accepting an order for a machine to be delivered to Louisiana, the Albany Machine & Supply Co. had a substantial presence in the state and therefore the court had jurisdiction over the company.
