On January 12, 2013, Employee #1 was working on the site of a partial demolition and rehabilitation of a one-story retail building. He was operating a forklift with a hopper. The hopper was to be used to collect demolition debris, which then would be placed into a dumpster. When Employer #1 raised the hopper with the forks the hopper, which was tilted slightly downwards, it slid from the forks and struck Employee #1. He was thrown to the ground. Employee #1 fell in a concave area underneath the hopper as the hopper hit the ground, which allowed him to only receive bruises and contusions from the falling hopper. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and transported him to a medical center, where he was admitted and treated for his injuries and then hospitalized.
