Narrative

While stepping down out of trailer van, the wind caught van door and slammed it around against employee, knocking him to the ground. He sustained trauma to the right knee and leg by way of bruising and abrasions. He went to emergency room at hospital and had x-rays, which do not reveal any fracturing. Leg was wrapped in a soft-brace, therapy and several days lost time.
