American Actress Olivia Munn Is Being Sued After A Worker Fell From Her Roof And Died Thereafter
According to TMZ, Olivia and her mother decided to hire Celso Merida so that they could get their roof fixed. This had apparently occurred in May, but after a few days of working on the job, he had fallen.
Subsequently, a lawsuit was fined on the grounds that the deceased’s family believe Celso died a few weeks after due to the extensive injuries.
While this tragedy could have happened to anyone, the blame is being pointed at Olivia for the following reasons. First of all, there are claims being made that Olivia decided to hire the worker through an unlicensed contractor.
Therefore, there were no guarantees that he would be capable of doing the job in a safe manner. While it may have been a cheaper option, it looks as though there were no clear safety parameters set up.
Secondly, given that the family have been left to suffer, there is a feeling that someone needs to be held accountable in order to give the family some closure.
Much in the same way, Olivia will want this resolved as soon as possible. She is currently pregnant and is expecting a baby with her lover John Mulaney.
Given that the pandemic has already made pregnancies that much more difficult, this saga is not going to help her too. After all, the stress from this lawsuit will only make things worse.
This begs the question, what are the chances of the family winning? Well, they have a good chance of doing so for the following point. The lawsuit stated: “Olivia and her mother did not give Merida the proper tools for him to work safely on the roof.
“And they didn’t participate in a workers’ compensation program.” Olivia certainly has a lot on her mind at the moment.
Time will tell how things will turn out, but given what we have seen so far, she does have something to answer for. Whether that results in the victims getting the compensation they want is anyone’s guess.
