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.

An employee was standing on the engine compartment of a manlift lining up the holes on the boom to apply the pin. As another worker hit the pin, it vibrated and caused the employee to lose his balance. He fell 7′ 3″ to the ground, fracturing his right wrist, dislocating his left collarbone, and suffering two contusions to the back and front of his head. He was hospitalized.
