Abstract: At 12:00 noon on June 20, 2019, an employee was operating an electric pallet jack loaded with 5,000 pounds of bean sprouts. After unloading the bean sprouts, the employee was pulling the pallet jack backwards when he backed into a full garbage can. The handle of the pallet jack struck the employee's abdomen but he did not seek treatment or medical advise at that time. One week later the employee felt increasing pain in his chest close to where he was struck so he went to the hospital, where he was admitted for two days for observation. The employee was released and referred to a cardiology center where he was diagnosed with a clogged artery.
