HOUSTON – Melvin Pena did not receive the proper training to use a radial saw, which led to him losing most of his fingers, according to a recently filed lawsuit.
Seeking up to $1 million in damages, Pena filed suit against EGR Drywall, G & R Enterprise and Montrose Multifamily Members on Feb. 2 in Harris County District Court.
According to the lawsuit, on May 9, 2019, Pena was at the Montrose apartment complex. While using a radial saw to cut trim, he lost most of his fingers.
G & R was the contractor responsible for renovating the apartments. EGR was a subcontractor.
Pena claims the defendants negligently failed “to properly supervise and train” him.
