The widow of a landscaper who died in July after being stung by thousands of bees has filed a lawsuit against the homeowners, whose yard he was working in when he was attacked.
Attorneys for Gloria Babuca filed the lawsuit in Pima County Superior Court in Arizona on November 2, saying that negligence on the part of the homeowners caused the death of Babuca’s husband, 48-year-old Daniel Martinez.
On July 31, Martinez went with Eduardo Alvarez to a home in the 6600 block of South Camino de la Tierra to perform landscaping services for the homeowners, John C. and Sherilyn Ricketts, the lawsuit says.
When he arrived at the home, Martinez was stung by thousands of Africanized bees that had built two nests attached to the roof of the Ricketts’ home. The nests were exposed and visible, the lawsuit says.
