Description
This is an appeal from an order of the Industrial Commission which denied an employer's claim against the Industrial Special Indemnity Fund and a cross-appeal by employee-claimant from the Commission's award of attorney's fees to him. In 1967, claimant-respondent and cross-appellant was working as a logger and fell from a load of logs and landed on his back. Four days later the tongue of a logging trailer fell striking Shea on the head. Shea underwent several surgeries for treatment of the resultant back and neck injuries, including a cervical fusion and disc extraction in his neck, a laminectomy for removal of a herniated disc and a fusion in his back, a rhizotomy to sever nerve roots to relieve pain, and surgery to relieve a bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. Shea's permanent disability from those 1967 accidents was adjudicated as 50 per cent of the whole man based on physicians' opinions that Shea would be unable to perform sustained, active physical work and would be required to engage in more sedentary occupations. Shea's workmen's compensation claims were resolved by a lump sum settlement agreement based on the 50 per cent disability rating and approved by the Commission.
