That's terrible. Be interesting to see if any of the owners can be held personally responsible. IIRC, if there's any hint of negligence, it could pierce the veil of corp. liability protection, and open up the owners and managers to civil liability.

I think you are right, but only in circumstances where they knowingly turned a blind eye which gives them a measure of responsibility. And then someone has to prove that. So many companies are LLCs now and I think that's how they are protected. It would be interesting if we had a lawyer here who could weigh in.
