Narrative

On or about September 15, 2016, an employee was driving a stand-up forklift in reverse from the back of a semi-trailer after setting down a load. A second stand-up forklift was also backing up and the two forklifts collided. The elevated forks of the second forklift struck the left foot of the employee controlling the first forklift. The employee suffered three broken toes, requiring surgical removal of the fourth toe, as well as a cut (left foot).
