Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on April 25, 2007, Employee #1, the manager of a tire and auto center, was asked by his assistant to check into some problems the assistant's car was experiencing with the engine. The vehicle was parked off the company's lot facing a curbed median landscape island between the two properties at the time. Employee #1 stood in front of the car with the hood raised while the assistant started the car. The transmission was in forward gear when it started and the car jumped forward squeezing Employee #1's feet against the curb breaking his legs. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
