The parents of Austin McEwen, one of the six victims killed after a tornado pummeled an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, last month, said Monday during a press conference that they are suing Amazon over the alleged wrongful death of their son.
McEwen's parents allege that the e-commerce giant, as well as a construction company and real estate developer associated with the facility that experienced significant structural damage after it was struck by an EF-3 tornado on December 10, 2021, failed to exercise reasonable care to protect workers like their son from sustaining injuries or death.
the federal agency that investigates workplace safety incidents, has six months to complete the investigation. Jack Casciato, partner at Clifford Law Offices, told CNN Business Monday:"Even as early as December 9, it was very clear that this area of Southwestern Illinois could be at risk of a tornado and the warning intensified throughout the day." "The question Amazon will have to answer is: 'Why were these workers present at this facility?'" Casciato said.
