Construction Firm Employee Sues Sunbelt for Negligence

A construction firm employee is suing Sunbelt Rentals Inc., citing alleged negligence that resulted in an injury.

Leroy Smith filed a complaint on Feb. 25 in Jefferson County District Court in Beaumont, TX.

Smith alleges that while working for Performance Blasting and Coating, which was doing contractor work for Sunbelt on May 1, 2015, he suffered severe and permanent injuries to his leg, knee and body. The suit claims the defendant failed to provide safe working conditions, failed to identify dangerous areas and failed to warn its contractors of said dangerous areas.
