## Narrative

The EE slipped while getting out of the bed of a pickup truck after retrieving an item and his lower right leg contacted the truck as he fell.  There were no initial signs of an injury other than a small bruise.  As the day progressed the bruising and swelling increased.  Ultimately the employee had ruptured a small artery causing a hematoma that had to be surgically relieved.
