The victim performed maintenance on robots as part of her job. William Holbrook has requested an unknown amount in damages, citing the faulty product and the malfunction of safety systems were jointly liable for her death. Following Wanda Hollbrook's death, the Michigan occupational and health administration fined Ventra Ionia $7,000.
