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, unspecified at Dynamic Environmental in Charlotte, Texas
DATE: 01/30/20
Two employees were rigging down a cellar pump line while another contractor was rigging down a standpipe line. While both operations were close to each other, the crews were working separately. The injured employee had attempted to stabilize the standpipe with a come-along and forklift prior to rigging the line down, but when one of the hammer unions broke loose, the entire line shifted out of the support stand and fell on his right leg just above his ankle. He was hospitalized with a fractured ankle.
