MIAMI (CN) - A Miami Dade College parking garage collapsed, killing four, including a father of three, because the general contractor chose the "cheaper, faster construction process," a widow claims in court.
At least eight workers were injured in the Oct. 10 collapse, according to the complaint in Miami-Dade County. Laurel Budhoo say her husband Robert's body was trapped under the rubble for 9 days, and it is impossible to know how long he suffered before he died.
Laurel Budhoo sued Ajax Building Corp., Coreslab Structures (Miami), Harvard Jolly Inc., Bliss & Nyitray, SIMS Crane & Equipment Co., and Solar Erectors U.S.
Budhoo says that Ajax, the general contractor, chose a precast concrete construction, in which large slabs of concrete are made off-site and then brought to the site to be installed, "because it was a cheaper, faster construction process."
