Narrative

Employee strained his shoulder lifting a DA ram up on a clevis rail on the longwall face. He continued to work performing his regular duties but his shoulder never healed. On 2-24-10 the employee had surgery to repair his rotator cuff. The difference between the accident and reporting date is because this was the first day the employee missed work for this injury.
