So here I was loading stuff onto a pallet. I was on foot next to my Forklift. Around the corner comes another forklift going way too fast and backwards with a double-high load. It runs right up onto my right foot and had it gone much further would have broken my leg. What happened instead was the steel-toe metal part of the boot crumpled over my big toe and other toes. It shattered the big one in several places and broke two others as well. They had to cut the boot off of me... This happened on New Year's Eve about 10 years ago. It took almost 6 months to walk normally again and a lot of physical therapy.
Soooo what you're saying is that that hi-lo driver no longer has a job, right?
Correct, that person was fired.
Did you press any charges or claim from the other guy?
