## Narrative

The employee was dumping a piece of waste granite off the forks on a lift truck. The material rolled to the ends of the forks which lifted the back of the forklift. The material continued to fall off the forks which caused the rear of the forklift to fall back to the surface. The employee only decided to visit a doctor a couple of weeks after the event when the pain increased.
