Narrative

Employee delivering slabs of solid surface material was standing on a truck flat bed while employees of the receiving company unloaded a slab. The Abaco clamp holding the material gave way, releasing the load and knocked the injured employee from the truck bed. The slab broke into pieces and a section fell, striking the injured employee below the knees on both legs breaking them. The injuries required hospitalization and surgery.
