On 2/28/25, an employee injured EE's right knee while unloading drums from a trailer. EE climbed over drums to access tie-downs and jumped onto the trailer bed, landing awkwardly. Initial care was conservative. PT was later tried for symptom relief. In July, surgery was required, and the employee is now off work recovering.
