Morris Stone Company · Fall to the walkway or working surface

While tightening a lugnut on a skidsteer, a bolt broke and EE fell backward twisting his ankle. He reported a sprained ankle. We administered first aid with an ice pack and bandage and he returned to work. Over the weekend it was hurting and he went to the doctor and had an xray and was told that the bone was cracked and would require a cast and 4-5 weeks off work.
