Narrative

An employee was working at a policyholder's residence responding to their insurance claim. He was on their outside deck and began to climb up a ladder. He was on the 2nd rung from the ground when the ladder lifted back towards him, hitting his forehead area. He continued to fall backwards, hitting the back of his head on the deck and knocking him unconscious.
