Jury Awards $18.2M in Tower Death Case, Recovery Uncertain

May 5, 2026 – A Delaware jury on Monday awarded $18.2 million to the family of two telecom workers killed in a 2020 tower accident, but bankruptcy filings by the liable companies could limit how much is ultimately recovered.

The verdict follows a ten-day trial over the deaths of brothers Jovan and Bryan Maldonado-Andino , who were killed when a boom lift toppled at a cell tower site in Bethany Beach, Delaware, where crews were working on equipment for T-Mobile.

The jury held general contractor Nexius Solutions and its training affiliate Myndco jointly liable, awarding $18.2 million in damages to the brothers’ estates and parents.
