The garage collapsed on Moore. The lawsuit says he was trapped and ultimately died.
One of the attorneys on this case says this was entirely preventable.
"The reason that this happened is the reason that so many of these horrific accidents happen. It's because owners of buildings especially put profits over safety. In this particular case, there were numerous violations that were never cured, never dealt with," said attorney Benedict Morelli.
This is one of several lawsuits filed against the building owners. Previously, they have said they are devastated by the loss of Moore and are fully cooperating with authorities.
We have reached out for comment on this lawsuit and have not heard back.
