CHARLESTON – A delivery driver for Rite Aid and his wife are suing the company after he claims an unstable load fell on him.
Christopher C. Cummings and Carrie Ann Cummings filed a lawsuit April 13 in Kanawha Circuit Court against Rite Aid of West Virginia.

On Aug. 30, 2007, Christopher claims he made a delivery in Lexington, Ky. During the unloading process, he claims some of the cargo fell on top of him, causing serious and permanent injuries.
He claims he's lost the ability to work due to the accident.
The couple is seeking compensatory damages.
