Despite construction worker Gabriel Infante's internal body temperature reaching 110 degrees, a foreman told responding medical personal that his symptoms were the result of illicit drug use.

When emergency services arrived, the foreman continued to hound medics to perform a drug test on Infante. The lawsuit alleges that B Comm Constructors failed to provide a safe working environment for employees and neglected to implement necessary safety measures, including regular breaks, shaded areas, and hydration stations. Infante’s mother, Velma, who is represented by Hilliard Law, is seeking $1 million in damages.
