As he performed this routine work, the ladder began to slip from the roof it was resting against, allowing the employee to fall approximately 12 feet to the asphalt drive. He suffered a shattered heel and a compound leg fracture. After the fall, emergency services were called to the site and transported the employee to a local hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
