Employee Is Injured in Fall from Pallet Jack

On July 23, 2009, Employee #1, a truck driver, delivers food products to restaurants. He was using a Mitsubishi pallet jack, Model Number GS, Serial Number 687437, to pull a loaded pallet onto the truck's lift. The weight of the pallet was approximately 1,100 pounds. He pulled the pallet jack too far and its guide wheel dropped over the edge of the truck's lift. This caused the pallet to drop onto his foot. He lost his balance and fell backwards off the lift. He struck his head on the pavement 51-in. below while having his foot still stuck under the pallet. He suffered a massive hematoma to the back right side of his head and was hospitalized.
