Construction worker sues Marriott, others over coworkers’ deaths
A construction worker who watched two co-workers fall to their deaths at a hotel construction site in Florida last year is suing Marriott and its partner companies for failing to provide sufficient safeguards for workers.
News sources say the August 29 incident occurred during construction of a 16-story hotel. A scaffold collapsed under the weight of concrete being poured, sending Lorenzo Zavala and Jerry Bell plunging 80 feet to their deaths.
