Montana Solid Rock Quarry Inc · Struck against a moving object

I was operating the fork lift. Going backwards I was looking over my right shoulder. The forklift went over a large rock and bounced and jarred my back. The pain was terrible when it first happened. I let the company know about it later that day. I saw Doctor 9/5/07. He gave me muscle relaxers and said if it is not better in 7 days to call and make an appointment.
