HOUSTON — A Harris County homeowner is suing a Houston roofing contractor, alleging negligence led to injuries to the plaintiff.
Cecil Cutshall filed a complaint May 30 in Harris County District Court against JCT Enterprises LLC, alleging the contractor failed to follow workplace safety procedures.
According to the complaint, on June 15, 2016, Cutshall hired JCT Enterprises to repair the roof of his home in Cypress. While walking into his home, the suit says, a pitchfork fell from the roof and struck Cutshall on the head, face and chest.
Cutshall says he sustained serious injuries, resulting in pain and suffering, mental anguish and medical expenses. The plaintiff alleges JCT Enterprises failed to properly train and supervise its employees.
Cutshall seeks trial by jury, monetary relief between $200,000 and $1 million, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs of court and all other equitable relief. He is represented by attorneys Loren G. Klitas and Jared W. Cappe of Klitas & Vercher PC in Houston.
