Narrative

The injured employee stated he was in process of checking an air leak at the main water stand. While walking toward the air valve location, he stepped on a loose rock. When this happened, his foot rolled off the side causing him to twist his knee. The injured continued to work until his physician took him off work on 6/27/2008 due to the MRI showing a torn cartilage.
