## Narrative

An employee was preparing to remove a trailer from a dump truck. The employee had unhooked the electricity and had just removed the pin to the trailer hitch when an excavator was offloaded from the trailer. The tongue of the trailer jumped off the hitch and pinched the employee's right index finger, causing a fracture, a torn ligament, the loss of the nail, and the amputation of about 3/8 inch of the tip.
