EE was operating forklift repairing roads after Hurricane Michael. EE hit a small pothole/sinkhole in the road that they backed away from, and said their neck hurt. EE went to the doctor to get checked out. The doctor said nothing was wrong with them, but wrote them out of work during the next shift due to soreness. This makes the accident reportable.
