The family of a meat processing plant worker who died last month from COVID-19 has sued the company, alleging it failed to take proper safety precautions as the highly contagious coronavirus began to bear down on the country.

On Thursday, the family of Enock Benjamin, who died at 69, filed suit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas against JBS S.A. and several subsidiaries, including Pilgrim’s Pride. The Brazil-based meat processing company is one of the largest in the world.
