The alleged accident resulted from employee manually lifting a partially filled 55 gallon onto the rear of a company service truck. In doing so, EE states that he pulled a muscle in the calf portion of his leg, which may have contributed to blood clot(s) in his leg. A portion of this blood clot(s) traveled to EE's lung causing him to be hospitalized.
