(Newswire.net — January 21, 2014) Charleston, West Virginia –Joseph Keys was a self-employed flooring contractor who was hurt by a negligent forklift operator of the Keystone Floor Products Company. Mr. Keys received $900,000 for his hip replacement surgery with the help of Chris Heavens and Heavens Law Firm.
A man lost his ability to support himself and his family when self-employed flooring contractor Joseph Keys suffered an accident at the Keystone Floor Products Co. warehouse. According to his complaint, Mr. Keys was struck by a carpet extending from a forklift when the operator drove too close. He was forced to undergo hip replacement surgery as a result of his injuries. However, West Virginia personal injury attorney Christopher J. Heavens was able to recover $900,000 for Mr. Keys.
Under Keystone work rules, contractors were required to enter the warehouse to receive their supplies. When 53-year-old Joseph Keys did so, he was hit by the forklift and thrown 15 feet from the impact, suffering a broken hip and other injuries as a result. The insurance company responsible for payment attempted to deny Mr. Keys full compensation, so he hired Chris Heavens, a West Virginia personal injury attorney.
