HOUSTON — A welder alleges he suffered injuries after a steel beam fell on top of him at a job site.
Fernando Adrian Lopez Moreno filed a complaint Feb. 5 in Harris County District Court against Innjoy Hospitality LLC doing business as Holiday Beach Resort and CV Welding alleging negligence and premises liability.
Moreno, according to his complaint, was working at a job site owned by the defendants and was hired by CV Welding. He claims that as he was welding, a large piece of steel beam fell on him from above and caused him to suffer injuries.
