Dallas-Fort Worth Lawyer – Walmart Employees at 3 Texas Locations are Injured in July 2021
A serious injuries report is prepared and updated monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The July 2021 update included three serious Texas Walmart injuries. Like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Amazon, Walmart is a big-box store that has likely not opted for workers’ comp participation in Texas. Employees at these and other retail stores work in and around numerous potential workplace hazards, including warehouses, loading docks, pallets, and forklifts.
The following are details about the first of the three Walmart stores in which there was a Texas work injury in July 2021. The three cities where the injuries occurred were Mission, Silsbee, and Desoto.
A Walmart Employee in Mission, Texas, is Allegedly Seriously Injured
Walmart, Inc. located at 2410 E Expressway 83, Mission, Texas, 78572, has a primary NAICS Code of 445110, which is the Supermarkets and Other Grocery Retailers (except Convenience Retailers) industry. The summary from OSHA conveys the following information:
- On July 1, 2021, Walmart employee was at the loading dock in Mission, Texas, when he allegedly suffered a serious workplace injury. The injury occured as he was shrink-wrapping a pallet for transport. Upon standing up from a kneeling position, the employee felt a painful pop in his hip. He was hospitalized for care of the industrial work injury.
Making an inference that persons or entities have participated in wrongdoing is never intended on this website. The purpose of posts on this site is to help injured Texas workers and families of workers fatally injured on the job when the employer involved has not opted for participation in Texas workers’ comp.
