A funeral home has been ordered to pay a former employee over $786,000 in damages after a High Court ruling found the company liable for negligence, breach of statutory duty, and failing to provide a safe work environment.
Justice Ricky Rahim delivered judgment in favour of former handyman/driver, Hardath Maraj, who suffered two severe back injuries while performing lifting duties at the funeral home.
Maraj filed the claim on March 29, 2022, seeking damages for injuries sustained in two workplace incidents — one in 2017 and another in 2020 — which left him unable to work full-time.
