SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The family of a man killed while working at San Francisco International Airport back in January is now reportedly suing the city and county of San Francisco and his employer.

His family claims San Francisco has failed to maintain airport roadways and that his employer assigned him inadequate and unsafe equipment.
