Narrative

An employee was on a dock, pushing a container full of mail on an incline. The container rolled backward and tipped over onto the employee's legs, causing him to fall and strike his head on the concrete floor. He sustained a laceration to his head and an injury to a tendon in his right leg, which required surgery.
