Narrative

On August 28, 2019, around 3:30 PM, an employee was pulling a 500-pound cart by hand when he backed into a low guardrail that was approximately 1.5 feet tall. The cart then impacted his leg at the calf and shin. The next day, his calf became swollen and blackish, requiring hospitalization and surgery for a muscle injury.
