Abstract: At 11:20 a.m. on May 16, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a construction company, were working at a multi-employer construction site for a residential building.

Employee #1 fell down and landed on the concrete driveway. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a traumatic head injury and other fractures.
