A man is suing over claims he was injured after being struck by materials.
Lawrence Gelsosomo filed a lawsuit Feb. 18 in the Cook County Circuit Court against First Class Mill Services Inc. and A. Finkl & Sons Co., citing negligence.
The complaint says on June 4, 2012, Gelsosomo was working as a truck driver and delivered materials to A. Finkl & Sons at 1355 E. 93rd St., Chicago.
