Deceased Construction Workers Families Sue Casino

An article discusses the filing of a lawsuit against a large hotel by the families of two deceased construction workers. The lawsuit charges that officials at the hotel knowingly ordered employees to violate safety procedures and directed them into dangerous situations, thus resulting in this terrible construction accident.

The suit charges that, "Defendants knew or should have known that the failure to follow known safety procedures, follow safety guidelines and exercise reasonable care would render dangerous and unsafe conditions.

Further, it states that: "Defendants intentionally directed employees to violate known safety procedures and safety guidelines, and directed employees into dangerous and unsafe conditions with full knowledge of the known risks of danger, including death to those persons..."

These types of devastating construction site injuries occur in Arizona, as well. Construction accident deaths in Phoenix have a myriad of causes and can affect workers of all experience levels and positions. Luckily, the law sometimes allows the families of victims of construction accident deaths to seek financial compensation for the loss of their loved one.

The parents, spouse, and children of the decedent can go to court and sue for compensation related to the death itself or any associated lost wages or other costs. Individuals can even collect money for losses well in excess of any claim allowed in a workers compensation claim in Arizona after a construction site injury in certain circumstances.

While no amount of money can ever bring back a loved one, it can punish the negligent parties whose lack of care and responsibility lead to the loss of life.
