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 swinging part of powered vehicle at Willbros Construction (U.S), LLC-DELAWARE in Pasadena, Texas
DATE: 12/29/16
On December 29, 2016, at approximately 11:30 a.m., a crew was moving skids out of the bottom of a large excavation. The skids had been placed in an excavator’s hoe bucket on the ground. An employee was unloading the skids from the bucket and handing them to the injured employee, who was positioned next to the track hoe bucket and a super sack of sandbags. At this time, another employee walked by the hoe operator and asked him to take over the track hoe. As he twisted around to speak, his safety vest caught the operating lever and caused the bucket of the track hoe to move and pinch the injured employee’s left ankle between the hoe bucket and super sand bag. His lower left leg was fractured just above the ankle.
