Text
If an employee receives a permanent injury
such as specified in section 10 of this chapter after having sustained
another permanent injury in the same employment, he shall be entitled
to compensation for both injuries, but the total compensation shall be
paid by extending the period and not by increasing the amount of
weekly compensation, and when such previous and subsequent
permanent injuries in combination result in total permanent disability
or permanent total impairment, compensation shall be payable for such
permanent total disability or permanent total impairment, but payments
made for the previous injury shall be deducted from the total payment
of compensation due.
Formerly: Acts 1929, c.172, s.35; Acts 1963, c.387, s.9. As
amended by P.L.144-1986, SEC.33.
