On March 1, 2005, a 32-year-old Hispanic butcher (the victim) was struck by the rear gate of a semi trailer dump truck. The crew consisted of the victim and his Hispanic co-worker, the Bobcat operator. The victim entered the semitrailer to put a chain on a dead cow and the Bobcat operator dragged the dead cow off the semi-trailer using a Bobcat (skid steer) industrial truck. The procedure for chaining dead cows was repeated until the trailer was empty. While Spanish was the victim's primary language, the victim understood limited English. He could not write or speak English fluently. Spanish was also the Bobcat operator's primary language. In performing the duties of his job, the victim walked into the semi-trailer under the raised gate of the semi trailer. The victim was exposed to a crushing hazard of the gate each time he entered and exited the trailer.
