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.

A crew was rigging down when a weight bucket became hung up while the derrick was being scoped in. One of the employees pulled on the cable, causing the climbing assist weight to come loose and descend toward him. As a result, he let go of the line and was struck by the weight. He suffered a right arm fracture, broken ribs, and lacerations to his left gallbladder and kidney.
