Abstract: On August 14, 2006, Employee #1 completed his work shift and was driving a forklift into a vacant storage area. The employer was a cold storage and refrigerated warehouse business. As the employee was backing the forklift while attempting a three point turn, the employee's foot slipped from the brake pedal onto the accelerator and the vehicle struck a cross bar. He was pinned between the steering wheel and the driver's seat, which had moved forward as a result of the impact. Employee #1 managed to free himself and was immediately taken to the USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, where he was treated for his injury.
