A Rockhampton man has begun legal action against a Capricorn Coast business over an alleged workplace injury, suing for almost $1 million.
Aaron Cooke filed the negligence lawsuit with the Rockhampton Supreme Court last month.
The 24 year old was employed as a trades assistant at a heavy mechanical equipment repair and maintenance business in the Emu Park region.
The court documents allege an incident occurred on August 24, 2018.
Mr Cooke claims he was servicing a liquid tanker and the tank slipped and his left shoulder was “wrenched”.
Mr Cooke alleged he suffered immediate pain in his left shoulder, back and neck which led to injuries in his shoulder and spine.
