Contractor Negligence, Defective Supports Among Charges in Wrongful Death Civil Action Filed As Result of Deadly Collapse of Tropicana Garage in Atlantic City U.S. Newswire
Attorneys representing the families of the four construction workers killed in the October 30, 2003, collapse of the Tropicana Casino and Resort garage have filed a consolidated civil action alleging that numerous defendants -- including the casino, the garage general contractor, concrete subcontractor, and site engineers -- were responsible for the deaths and injuries to dozens of other construction workers through their negligence, co-lead counsel Robert J. Mongeluzzi and Paul D'Amato announced following the filing in the Atlantic County Superior Court of New Jersey of a Form Master Complaint.
According to the complaint, the deaths were caused by the "defendants negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, and other liability-producing conduct" which resulted in "numerous stories of the 10-story parking garage in which they were working suddenly and without warning collapsing."
The complaint faults the defendants with improperly installing the pre-cast Filigree concrete slabs "in an effort to save time and money and increase defendants' profits." The attorneys said it was well known on the job site that the contractors were cutting corners, transporting much-needed supporting screw jacks, shoring and bracing back and forth between Tropicana and another casino construction project.------------------------------------------- posted 7:03 AM :: reference link ::
