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 Laredo Petroleum Inc. in Garden City, Texas
DATE: 09/15/15
At approximately 11:30 on 15 September 2015, an employee was hospitalized when he was struck in the chest by a cap on a pressure vessel that he and another employee were removing. Remaining pressure in the pipe leading to the pressure vessel caused the cap to violently dislodge during the procedure and strike the employee in the chest, breaking one rib and causing the employee to suffer a broken left elbow, a laceration that required sutures on his right elbow and a hemorrhage on the artery leading to his adrenal gland.
