Victims of the Elliot Lake Mall Roof Collapse Disaster are seeking $30 million in compensation.
The class action lawsuit launched today in Elliot Lake names the mall owner, the engineering firm that did an inspection of the mall prior to the roof collapse, the Government of Ontario and the City of Elliot Lake.
22 people were injured and two others were killed when parts of the roof top parking lot came crumbling down two floors of the mall onto the food court area of the Algoma Centre Mall June 23.
