Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a workmen's compensation case and really presents only
one question for our decision. The question presented is whether
an award made to the claimant for a condition found to be
temporary in character may be commuted or settled by an order for
a lump sum payment. It will be helpful to briefly give a review of the background
of the case. Claimant, who is the appellee here, has been engaged
in heavy manual labor during his working life. In 1945, he
suffered a back injury and underwent surgery involving a spinal
fusion. After his return to work, he was employed by various
employers in work in keeping with his capabilities. In August,
1955, he again injured his back while in the employ of the
respondent, who is the appellant. The original award of
compensation herein was entered on March 20, 1956, and was for
"not to exceed 415 weeks of temporary total disability at the
rate of $32 per week, subject to review and modification as
provided by law."
