Narrative

Employee stated upon arriving to work he exited the cab of his truck and slipped on a rock falling to the ground. As he fell he extended his left arm to catch himself. This resulted in a radial head fracture of the left elbow. The employee has worked each scheduled shift at full duty, but on 7/28/14 he attended a doctor's appointment, which resulted in one lost work day.
