At approximately 8:30 a.m. on December 16, 2011, an employee was working for C. A. Rasmussen, Inc. Rasmussen was a general engineering contractor. It constructed highways, bridges, and other parts of the transportation infrastructure. The injured employee had been working for company about 4 years, performing the duties of a laborer.
