The employee was helping change a screen when EE smashed a finger between the old screen being removed and the handrail. The employee received stitches in the middle finger of left hand.
The claimed injury was not reported to the company until 12/23/2013. The injury was a result of horseplay involving individuals' physical contact (punching, shoving, and lifting off the ground).
