Survivor of scaffolding collapse suing companies & province

August 17 2010

A few days after the Ministry of Labour charged two companies in the deaths of four migrant workers in a workplace accident, The Globe and Mail has learned that the sole survivor is suing the companies involved and the Ontario Ministry of Labour for $16.3-million in damages.

"We are suing them because we think they have a duty that they didn't exercise properly," said William Friedman, Dilshod Marupov's lawyer.
Mr. Marupov's lawyer, Mr. Friedman, said the lawsuit is on behalf of Mr. Marupov and the estate of Fayzullo Fazilov, one of the men who died. The claim for Mr. Fazilov is about $14-million, while Mr. Marupov is seeking $16.3-million in damages.
