Winfield,
West Virginia - a man from Cabell County has filed a perosnal injury lawsuit against a Toyota plant in Buffalo. The man claims that he was injured after slipping and falling on a puddle of oil while in the facility.
The plaintiff, Martin Edmunds, filed his lawsuit on December 18th in the Putnam County Circuit Court. The defendant on the claim is Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia Inc. Edmunds claims that Toyota is at fault because of the company's unsafe working conditions.
Edmunds says that he slipped on a mat that had been placed over an oil spill. His
slip and fall accident occurred in December 2008. After falling, Edmunds' claims that he severely injured his back and that a fellow employee slipped and fell on the same spot. He said that the Toyota plant knew about the oil spill, but did not clean it up, which created an unsafe work environment.
Edmunds is seeking damages for his medical expenses, back injury, lost wages and pain and suffering.
