Narrative

An employee walked into a co-worker's cubicle to answer the phone. To access the phone, the employee positioned herself between the cubicle desk and chair. This position placed the employee's feet under the desk. As she exited the cubicle, her left foot became entangled with a satchel strap that was beneath the cubicle desk. She then tripped and fell to the floor, suffering a right hip femoral fracture.
