This OSHA Injury Report was compiled directly from data that is publicly available from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA Injury Reports can be helpful in understanding the types of workplace injury claims involving defective products or malfunctioning equipment in the workplace.
The manufacturers of defective equipment or machinery resulting in a worker injury may be found to be negligent and liable for damages in a separate civil lawsuit. You may be able to recover damages on top of a workers’ comp claim if injured in a job accident caused, in part, by a third party. These third party personal injury cases should be given responsible legal guidance.
Trammell Piazza Law Firm claims no responsibility for any errors or inconsistencies in OSHA’s data.

Report: Intentional injury by other person, n.e.c. at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas
DATE: 02/04/20
An employee was performing nursing rounds and caregiving activities for patients at the psychiatric unit of the hospital. A patient pulled the fire alarm in an attempt to escape, and threw water on the floor behind him as he was running. The employee ran after the patient, caught him, and brought him back to the unit. The patient became combative and bit the employee’s finger and both of them slipped on the water and fell to the floor. Once the patient was secured back in their room, the employee went to the emergency room for a laceration he sustained when the patient bit his finger. The employee was then hospitalized for a heart attack.
