Jonathan has been employed with Joes Shirts as a driver and delivery person. While making deliveries, he fell and injured himself. He sustained multiple injuries including a fractured ankle and soft tissue damage to his right arm, chest and abdomen. He was taken to the local hospital and was discharged the following day. He was advised to stay off work for one week and as per the company policy, he presented to the supervisor a Functional Ability Assessment Report.

The report indicated that his ankle would remain in a cast for three months and eventually heal completely in about nine months. It also indicated that he should not stand on the ankle for three months while using crutches. As a result of his injuries he would be unable to stand, sit and walk for extended time periods. He is expected to improve after a month and his only restriction would be his ankle.
