Employee Fractures Ankle in Fall from Scaffolding

On August 24, 2010, two employees of a drywall company were installing drywall ceiling on a two story building. The employees were standing on a ladder scaffold, as they were hanging the drywall ceiling. They lost their balance and fell approximately 10 feet below. A coworker drove the employees to the hospital for treatment of their injuries. Both employees sustained fractured ankles. Employee #1 underwent surgery on his fractured right ankle and was hospitalized for three days. The other employee was treated and released the same day.
