A Walmart Employee in Terrell, Texas, Suffers a Fractured Hip
The serious injuries report that is prepared and updated monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recently provided details for Texas work injuries that occurred in June 2021. Three different Walmart employees in Texas were injured that month, and all of the injuries were associated with a fall in the workplace. In Terrell, Texas, boxes contributed to an employee’s injury. Walmart, Like Home Depot, Amazon, and Lowe’s, is a big-box store that likely does not participate in the Texas workers’ compensation insurance program. They are also places where many employees are working around boxes on the floor, which can create a workplace hazard in certain circumstances.
The Walmart in Terrell, Texas, where a workplace injury occurred is located at 1900 W Moore Ave., Texas, 75160. The company’s primary NAICS Code is 453998, which is the All Other Miscellaneous Store Retailers (except Tobacco Stores) industry.

Implying that individuals or entities have participated in wrongdoing is not an intention on this website. The purpose of this site is to help both Texas injured workers whose injuries were serious and the families of employees who died on the job in cases in which the employee is not a participant in workers’ compensation in Texas.
