    Contractor Negligence, Defective Supports among Charges in Wrongful Death Civil Action Filed on Tropicana Garage Collapse U.S. Newswire
    This was a huge, high-stakes construction project that was built like a flimsy house of cards," added Mongeluzzi. "Industry experts will testify and the record will show that those responsible for this project and the safety of the workers were more interested in getting the job done quickly than doing it safely, violating accepted industry standards, and risking people's lives."

    Widows sue over collapse of A.C. casino garage By Jennifer Moroz
    In a complaint filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, Nancy Wittland and Joleen Bigelow allege that negligence on the part of the companies caused the Oct. 30 construction-site accident that killed ironworkers Michael Wittland, 53, of Pleasantville, N.J., and James Bigelow Sr., 29, of Egg Harbor Township, N.J.

    Two concrete workers were also killed and two dozen other workers were injured when the top five decks of what was to become a 10-floor, 2,400-space parking garage suddenly gave way as concrete was being poured on the top floor.
