Abstract: At 8:00 a.m. on June 3, 2002, Employee #1, a permanent employee of the employer, was a laborer at a construction site. She was spreading some dirt when the bucket of a John Deere loader hit her right arm. This small loader has a 0.625 cubic yard bucket. The operator of the loader had a load of dirt in the bucket and was going to place the dirt near the area where Employee #1 was working. The loader's front wheels went into a divot, which caused the bucket to come down and the rear end of the loader to go up. Employee #1 had her back to the loader and at the time the bucket came down, she had her right arm out while shoveling. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, where she stayed for eight days with a broken upper right arm.
