I injured my left hand on October 9th, 2025 at approximately 8:30am while trying to hitch a boat to my work truck to move it. I was trying to lower the tongue of the trailer using the hand crank on the leg, when suddenly the leg folded under and the trailer smashed down on my left hand slicing my middle finger.

HANDLING OF MATERIALS
The Lane Construction Corporation · Struck against stationary object
Employee was operating the John Deere 317 skid steer loader. He pulled back on the handle to back up and hit his right elbow (funny bone) on the arm rest. The foam covering the metal frame had come off over the years and bare metal was exposed. He said it hurt for a little while then was alright. He refused medical treatment until 6/13/07.
