A wrongful death lawsuit claims dangerous work conditions and a Wyoming developer’s negligence caused the deaths of two men when a trench collapsed last year.
The lawsuit was filed in mid-June on behalf of 42-year-old Juan Baez-Sanchez and 56-year-old Victoriano Garcia-Perez, who died last September while working on the 12-foot-deep trench at a house construction site owned by Wilson developer Jamie Mackay.
Beneficiaries of the two men are seeking $1 million in damages for each death.
The lawsuit claims the deaths could have been avoided.
The state Occupational Safety and Health Administration earlier this year proposed more than $10,500 penalties against Mackay’s Fireside Resort after finding unsafe conditions at the work site.
