NATRONA COUNTY, Wyo., June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Metier Law Firm, LLC, representing Amanda Baker, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit following the death of her husband, Jacob R. Baker, in a crane accident on June 23, 2023. The lawsuit, filed by attorney Grant Lawson, names Kent A. Lundine, doing business as High Country Crane Service, as the defendant.
