Coronavirus lawsuits: Walmart Sued for Wrongful Death tied to Coronavirus

Despite several legal demand letters, Walmart refused to immediately implement protective measures for its workers against the coronavirus. As a result, we know of at least one Walmart worker who became ill and passed away.
A relative of a Walmart employee in Illinois who died from COVID-19 complications reached out for assistance and free consultation to an Illinois Personal Injury Lawyer. It became clear that immediate legal action was required. A 24 by 7 Personal Injury Lawyer filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the retail giant, alleging that the Walmart store did not do enough to protect employees from the novel coronavirus.
Walmart worker Wando Evans worked at a Walmart store in Evergreen Park, Illinois for 15 years. Despite a Duty of Care owed by Walmart to its employees, Mr. Evans was found dead in his home on March 25. Mr. Evans first mentioned symptoms consistent with the novel coronavirus to the Walmart management at least two weeks prior to his death.
Walmart management dismissed his concerns as gibberish and non-sense. Legal documents filed in Cook County Circuit Court allege that Walmart management was aloof and indifferent to the plight of Mr. Evans despite facts that suggest that African-Americans have a higher death rate.
Coronavirus Lawsuits Against High-volume Grocers
The coronavirus pandemic is especially acute at high-volume grocery retailers like Costco, Walmart, and Winco Foods. High volume grocery retailers like Walmart, Winco Foods, Smith's Grocery, and Albertson's, all have a Duty of Care to disclose active coronavirus cases among their employees, and to protect both customers and employees from exposure and sickness.
The Winco Foods stores are troubling because they assert to be a private, employee-owned company, and much of their information is secretive. Winco Foods has not disclosed the number of Covid-19 cases. Complaints from employees assert the store is primarily concerned with profit margins, and that the Winco Food stores are hotbeds for the coronavirus exposure.
Have you, or a family friend, or loved one shopped at the Winco Grovery store at 6101 N Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89130, or at 7501 W Washington Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89128?? If so, you may have been exposed to the coronavirus.
