Narrative

The employee stated that he was operating a shuttle car when the car slid into rut causing his head to contact the shuttle car canopy. The employee had recently returned to work due to a medical issue with his neck, but stated he felt pain. After further consideration and because the insurer found the injury compensable, this is being reported as a lost time injury.
