Narrative

While moving a yield sign on a skid, the employee's right pinky finger became trapped between the skid and the ground. The employee jerked his finger free and in doing so caused a fracture to the tip of the finger and a laceration that took eleven sutures to close. After treatment, the employee was given a full duty release from the ER doctor.
