In a tragic case of alleged negligence leading to wrongful death, a grieving mother has taken legal action against several construction companies. On February 28, 2025, Rosalia Liera Armenta filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, against Modern Constructors, LLC; Paradigm Design & Construction d/b/a Paradigm Roofing; and CT Roofing Installations LLC. The lawsuit centers around the death of her son, Porfirio Silvas Liera, who died in a construction accident.
The complaint filed by Rosalia Liera Armenta accuses the defendants of gross negligence and failing to maintain safety standards at a construction site located at 1701 Wolf Ranch Parkway in Georgetown, Texas. On May 19, 2023, Porfirio Silvas Liera was working on the roof of a three-story apartment complex when he fell due to unsafe conditions. According to the lawsuit, "Defendants’ negligence and failure to maintain proper safety standards" resulted in fatal injuries to Porfirio. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants did not provide a safe work environment or enforce reasonable safety policies and procedures. Furthermore, they are accused of not following OSHA regulations and violating local, state, and federal laws.
Rosalia Liera Armenta seeks monetary relief exceeding $1 million for damages including loss of companionship and society with her son as well as mental anguish. She is also pursuing exemplary damages due to what she describes as gross negligence on part of the defendants. The plaintiff is requesting that this case be consolidated with another pending case involving similar facts under Cause No. 2024-34072 in the same jurisdiction.
The lawsuit details various causes of action including negligence and gross negligence against all defendants. It asserts that these companies had control over the construction site where Porfirio was injured and thus owed him legal duties which they breached through their negligent actions or omissions. Additionally, under theories such as respondeat superior and vicarious liability, these companies are held accountable for their employees' conduct during this incident.
The court filing highlights specific failures by the defendants: lack of adequate training for workers; failure to implement effective safety measures; hiring incompetent staff; insufficient inspection processes; non-compliance with industry standards among others—all contributing factors leading up to Porfirio’s untimely demise according to Mrs. Armenta’s claims.
