Description
Claimant, Oliver P. Morrison, suffered a compression fracture of the L-1 vertebra on January 9, 1980, and a compression fracture of the L-3 vertebra on September 6, 1980, while at work as a factory foreman for respondent, Page 419 Quality Wood Products Corporation. After a hearing held pursuant to an application for adjustment of claim in relation to the first injury, an arbitrator awarded claimant 16 1/7 weeks of compensation for temporary total disability and 30 weeks of compensation for permanent loss of use of 15% of his left leg under section 8(e) of the Workers Compensation Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.8(e)). Respondent was also ordered to pay $8,401.39 for necessary first aid, medical, surgical and hospital services. In connection with the second fracture, the arbitrator, after finding that claimants condition was temporary and not yet permanent in nature, awarded compensation for a period of 21 5/7 weeks, as well as necessary first aid, medical, surgical and hospital expenses. Both parties sought review and the Commission, after consolidating the claims for consideration, increased the arbitrators award of 30 weeks of compensation in connection with the first injury to 60 weeks of compensation under section 8(d)(2) of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.8(d)(2)). The Commission also increased claimants compensation for the second injury to 38 2/7 weeks and ordered respondent to pay interest to claimant under section 19(n) of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.19(n)). In all other respects the arbitrators award was affirmed. On review by writ of certiorari, the circuit court of Shelby County confirmed the Commissions decision and respondent appealed to this court pursuant to Rule 302(a) (73 Ill.2d R. 302(a)).
