Wrongful death lawsuit filed by family of man killed in workplace accident
The family of one of the construction workers killed in Austin, Texas, when a piece of scaffolding collapsed has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
The wrongful death lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the wife and children of Wilson Cerritos. This lawsuit comes on the heels of a workplace accident that took place at the construction site of the 21 Rio condo project last week. Cerritos and two other construction workers were killed when the scaffold they were standing on plunged several stories.
One of the defendants named in the wrongful death lawsuit is American Mast Climbers, the manufacturer of the scaffolding. According to the lawsuit, American Mast Climbers manufactured a defective product and failed to provide adequate warnings.
In addition, the general contractor and subcontractor are accused of negligence for failing to provide Cerritos and the other men with a safe working environment.
