Attorneys for a Milford man who died after falling from a ladder at a construction site have filed a wrongful death lawsuit seeking millions of dollars against the building’s owner.

The estate of Francisco Martija filed suit March 14 in Milford Superior Court against the TIAA Board of Overseers, which owns the 230,000-square-foot complex where Martija died last July. It claimed the ladder the 62-year-old man used at the job site was improperly secured and had no safety harness.
