## Narrative

I injured my left hand on October 9th, 2025 at approximately 8:30am while trying to hitch a boat to my work truck to move it. I was trying to lower the tongue of the trailer using the hand crank on the leg, when suddenly the leg folded under and the trailer smashed down on my left hand slicing my middle finger.
