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: Struck by dislodged flying object, particle at Liberty Manufacturing, Inc. in Mission, Texas
DATE: 11/21/17
An employee was using a pneumatic wrench to tighten a spring cap onto a bolt while repairing a metal shearing machine. As the employee added downward pressure on the spring, the bolt snapped, releasing the spring’s compression and causing it to shoot out of containment and into the employee’s forehead. The employee sustained a forehead laceration that required stitches and a minor skull fracture.
