HUNTINGTON -- A Leesville, S.C. man is suing Steel Products and Manufacturing Co. after he was injured on the job.
On May 1, 2009, Keith Jarrell, who was a Kenova resident at the time, was delivering a load of steel to the defendant and was standing on the bed of the truck when one of the defendant's employees dropped a load of steel on him, according to a complaint filed April 21 in Cabell Circuit Court.
As a result of the defendant's negligence, Jarrell suffered severe injuries to his back and crushing injuries to his left leg and foot, according to the suit.
