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 powered vehicle tipping over-nontransport at Asplundh in Witts Springs, Arkansas
DATE: 11/13/17
Two employees were mowing vegetation under a powerline with a mulching machine. Due to the rough terrain, the machine had to be pulled out with a winch that was on the machine. The winch cable broke, causing the machine to roll onto its side with one employee inside. The employee injured his back and was hospitalized.
