James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
Joe was driving his 18 wheeler on the Florida Turnpike headed south after a long-haul run. He was “bobtailing” which means he did not have a cargo trailer on the back of his truck rig. A drunk driver lost control of his car causing Joe to avoid the accident but drive off the highway and into a canal. He was injured in the accident but also witnessed a child die when he climbed out of the truck and came to the accident site. There the injured child was trapped under the car and he was powerless to save the child before it passed.
