At approximately 7:15 p.m. on July 25, 1995, Employee #1, of Anna Bisson, had just exited through a rear door of a single-story house when she slipped on the top step of the rear stairway and fell. According to the employer, who is the son of the house owner, Employee #1 fell 3 to 4 ft from the four-step stairway. Employee #1 fractured both ankles and was hospitalized.
