243 A.D. 828 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1935
Appeal by the employer from awards for permanent partial disability in favor of claimant. Claimant was injured by being struck by a falling plank in 1921, resulting in traumatic neurasthenia and osteoarthritis of the spine. Various awards were made until 1922, when a compromise lúmp sum award' was granted and the case closed. Thereafter, until 1932, claimant’s condition became progressively worse and he did no work. In 1932 the case was reopened and as a result an award has been made for seventy-five per cent permanent partial disability until June 1, 1932, such award being authorized by subdivision 5-a of section 15 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law.
