Family Of Man Killed In Hard Rock Collapse File Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Developers

The family of one of the men who died when the Hard Rock hotel collapsed two weeks ago in downtown New Orleans has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the building’s developers.

The hotel was under construction on Oct. 12, when the top floors came tumbling down, killing three construction workers and injuring dozens of others.

The cause of the collapse is currently under investigation.

Kamren Schexnayder and Angela Magrette Ortega, the daughter and twin sister of one of the victims, Anthony Magrette, said in their lawsuit that the developers failed to provide a safe working environment for the workers.
