We told a contractor that we would no longer need their services on 01/29/2015. We saw this contractor 2 times after this date and there was no mention of an injury. We asked him to return our companies equipment on 02/02/2015 and he then told us that he hurt his back and stomach. I do not have anymore detail on the injury because this is all the detail that the contractor gave us.
