Employee injured in fall from ladder jack scaffold

Employee #1, the sole owner of a home improvement company, was removing and replacing soffit, fascia and rain gutters on an existing two-story house. While standing on an enclosed patio roof, removing soffit from the structure, the employee struck himself in the head with a hammer. Sometime after that, he climbed onto a 20-foot-long by 16-inch-wide ladder jack scaffold to remove more soffit and fell approximately 11 feet 2 inches to a fieldstone patio, sustaining severe head injuries. The employee was transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center for treatment. It was reported that the employee drank approximately 8 beers with lunch.
