Lisa Manders , 70 , was killed in a hippopotamus attack last year during a safari in Zambia .

A New Jersey man is suing the U.S. company that arranged the trip, alleging it failed to ensure their safety and did not adequately screen and supervise the tour guides.

The company denies the lawsuit’s allegations.

Craig Manders suffered severe and debilitating emotional and psychological injuries that have made it difficult for him to cope with daily routines, it says. The lawsuit is seeking damages on allegations of negligence and recklessness. “He’s suing both for the loss of his wife and the impact that has on him and his life,” Slager said. “And he also has a claim for having witnessed what happened to her, having seen the attack, which is unthinkable. It’s unimaginable.”.
