Narrative

Stated: the employee was riding in man trip with curtain covering wet seat. Part of the curtain was hanging out and caught on a bundle of bolts around a fall area. The curtain pulled and twisted his knee. Diagnosed with degenerative knee and meniscal tear, no surgery will benefit. Due to waiting on MRI results to determine injury/illness classification, this report is filed late.
