The families of the victims of a deadly motorcycle accident are suing the employer of the supposed illegal immigrant who caused the car wreck.
The lawsuit alleges that hiring the man made the company responsible for the deaths of two people who were on a motorcycle when a pick-up truck crossed the centerline and struck them. It is believed that Herlin Alvarez, who has not been seen since the wreck, drove the truck.
According to the lawsuit, Alvarez was on his way to pick up a check from Porter Roofing Contractors when the accident occurred and that he did not have a valid driver’s license. The suit also alleges that Porter Roofing paid its employees through a sham company.
The plaintiffs are asking that the state suspend the roofing company’s licenses, and that a jury be commissioned to award them upwards of $260 million for the loss of their two family members.
