I was working [at the] gate offloading Aircraft X. We were offloading the last pallet from the FWD pit when I realized the locks were not down on the dolly so the pallet can be loaded onto the LD7 dolly. Then I walked in between the end of the container loader and dolly to lower the locks when the container loader operator did not see me and began moving the Pallet (PMC) towards the dolly. The pallet of freight pinned me between the dolly and the freight/pallet and I screamed immediately and the container loader operator reversed the pallet. My knees got crushed between the pallet and the dolly and I immediately fell to the dolly and called for a supervisor. I was taken to the clinic and soon after; the hospital. I am awaiting the results of my knees. My bone might be broken; the paramedics claim it could be a muscle that was torn. (ACL)
Ramp Agent reported being injured between a pallet and a dolly when the Container Loader moved the pallet.
