Estate of Walmart employee who died from COVID-19 sues company for wrongful death GlobeBusiness

Evans died on March 25, and another employee at the same store died four days later from complications due to COVID-19, according to the complaint.Arkansas-based Walmart said it had conducted “a deep-cleaning of key areas” in the Illinois store, which has passed a health department inspection and a separate third-party review over the last week, according to a statement provided by a spokesman.

The lawsuit filed by Evans’ estate accuses Walmart of negligence and wrongful death in violation of Illinois law. Walmart also hired new workers in an expedited process without properly screening them for symptoms of COVID-19, Evans’ estate says.
