Miami, FL (April 8, 2025) – A workplace injury occurred earlier today at a local car dealership in Miami, Florida, when a worker was injured by falling equipment. The incident, which took place around 10:30 a.m., involved a 33-year-old male employee who was working on a car lift when a piece of automotive equipment fell, striking him on the shoulder and back.
According to reports, the worker was in the process of adjusting the lift when the equipment malfunctioned and fell from a height. The worker was pinned momentarily before his co-workers were able to assist him and get him to safety. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and transported the worker to a nearby hospital with a fractured shoulder and possible spinal injuries.
The dealership management has initiated an internal investigation, and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has been notified. Preliminary reports suggest that improper equipment maintenance or failure to follow safety procedures may have contributed to the incident.
We extend our thoughts to the injured worker and wish them a full and speedy recovery.
