Narrative

EE deposited a pallet of product in storage area with a forklift. When backing up, he and another forklift backed into each other rear-end to rear-end. The other lift driver, not injured, said they did not watch where they were going - equal negligence. Injured EE's hat was knocked off, he felt discomfort in his neck and left work an hour later. He is now in doctor's care.
