CHARLESTON -- A married couple is suing after the husband was injured while on a job site.
Glenn Fultz and Constance Fultz filed a lawsuit May 6 in Kanawha Circuit Court against B&F Contracting Inc., Northern Management Services Inc. and B. Armstrong Electrical Services Inc.
According to the complaint on May 14, 2013, Glenn Fultz, while employed as a laborer by B&F Contracting, was delivering concrete to a work site when metal grating at the site collapsed.

As a result of the accident, Glenn was forced to undergo serious and extensive major surgery and medical care, suffered permanent loss of earning capacity, severe emotional distress and permanent physical and vocational impairment, among other claims.
