A Texas Lowe’s Worker Suffers a Fracture in a Forklift Accident
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) keeps track of serious injuries that occur across the nation. In August 2021, an employee at Lowe’s Company in Mount Vernon, Texas, was seriously injured in a forklift-related accident. Major employers such as Lowe’s, Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot likely do not participate in workers’ compensation in Texas, but they have the responsibility of protecting employees from forklifts and other workplace hazards.
Details follow on the work injury that occurred on August 9, 2021, at Lowe’s Company in Mount Vernon, Texas. The address where the Texas work accident occurred is 955 Lowe’s Lane, Mount Vernon TX 75457. This employer has a NAICS Code of 444110, which is the Home Centers industry. Companies in this industry are generally involved in retail goods such as hardware, garden supplies, lawnmowers, plumbing goods, and lumber.

- A Lowe’s Company employee was working as a forklift operator and was driving toward the shipping travel aisle. As he approached an intersection on the forklift, he turned right. During the turn, he lost control of the forklift. The left foot of the employee ultimately became pinned between the forklift and the base of a rack, which resulted in a foot fracture.
Implying that any person or institution has participated in wrongdoing is never intended on this website. The goal of each post on this site is to help seriously injured employees and the families of deceased workers who died on the job when the employer does not participate in Texas workers’ comp.
