A judge is set to begin a trial this week in state court in Houston over the construction accident that killed Jose Dario Suarez more than two years ago. The Texas ironworker drowned while working on a part of Baylor University’s new $266-million football stadium project.
Lawyers for Suarez' estate contend that the 55-year-old died as a result of negligence by eight different construction and equipment companies working on or involved with the project.
