The owners of a paper mill in Rumford are now at the center of a federal lawsuit. It claims that workplace safety rules were violated and contributed to a fall that left an employee with life-altering injuries. The lawsuit filed against ND Paper and several other companies alleges workplace safety violations played a role in 35-year-old Damion Hatcher falling nearly eight stories “into the opening of a chimney while performing cleaning services.”
