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 falling object or equipment, n.e.c. at Coastal Cargo of Texas, Inc. in Baytown, Texas
DATE: 12/03/19
An employee was clerking and counting bundled steel pipes that had already been unloaded from a barge for a forklift to pick up and bring to a staging area. A 4×8 piece of wood used to stack the bundles broke between one of the tiers, causing the bundled pipes to roll off and pinch the employee between pipes. The employee suffered a fractured pelvis and hip, along with some internal bleeding.
