While employed by Union Pacific Railroad, Freddie Jones Jr., a Louisiana resident at the time, suffered an on the job injury last August.
On June 3 Jones filed suit against UPR in Jefferson County District Court.
According to the lawsuit, on Aug. 28, 2012, Jones was performing unspecified duties for the defendant when he was somehow injured.

The plaintiff is suing for his alleged past and future medical expenses, mental anguish, pain, impairment and lost wages.
Attorney Rodney Steinburg of the Houston law firm Steinburg, Herzik & Prieto represents the plaintiff.
Judge Donald Floyd, 172nd District Court, is assigned to the case.
Case No. E194-407
