Stoddard v. Hammond Steel Co.

214 A.D. 825

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: July 15, 1925
• Status: Published

Opinion

Per Curiam:

Claimant has been paid $3,500, which is the limit of compensation for temporary disability whether total or partial. (Workmen’s Compensation Law [at the time of the accident], § 15, subds. 2,4.) Further compensation cannot be awarded unless the disability is permanent. There is evidence to show some ability to work. There is no proof of permanent total disability. Because it does not appear that the injuries found by the Board are permanent this award may not be sustained. All concur. Award reversed and claim remitted with costs against the State Industrial Board to abide the event.
