Wiki Fall from ladder, rule out concussion

I would lead with a head injury (not all head injuries are concussions), the abrasions to the arms, and the appropriate E code for the ladder fall. You might get other opinions but this is mine
Hope this helps!

I would use the V71 for observation following accident with nothing found plus the E code for the fall from ladder.
