KINGWOOD - Justin Starkey and Alana Lee Starkey have filed suit against Cost Co. Ltd. Partnership doing business as Construction Solutions and Leasing LLC, W.G. Tomko Inc., and Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. for personal injuries allegedly sustained on a construction job site.

The plaintiffs claim in a complaint filed May 31 that Justin Starkey was employed by Construction Solutions as a bricklayer and was working on a construction project in Preston County West Virginia.

Allegedly, while working on the project, Starkey fell from faulty scaffolding onto a pipe that was sticking out of the ground.

The plaintiffs claim the pipe was not fitted with the proper safety cap which could have mitigated or prevented Starkey's injury. Alana Lee Starkey is suing the defendants for loss of consortium, in addition to her husband's negligence claim.

The plaintiffs are suing the defendants for compensatory damages. They plaintiffs are represented by John R. Angotti from Morgantown West Virginia.
