TWCA reviews an award of permanent partial disability benefits in a workers' compensation case

RANDALL NORWOOD v. MAYTAG CORPORATION d/b/a MAYTAG JACKSON DISHWASHING PRODUCTS (TWCA April 30, 2012)

In this workers’ compensation action, the employee contended that he struck his head against the casing of a conveyor belt, causing permanent and total disability due to a resulting cervical strain and mental injury. His employer denied that he sustained any permanent disability as a result of the incident. The trial court awarded 95% permanent partial disability benefits. The employer has appealed, contending that the evidence preponderates against the trial court’s finding. We affirm the judgment.
