CompFox AI Summary
In this worker's compensation case, plaintiff John Anthony appealed the trial court's denial of his claim for permanent partial disability. Anthony sustained injuries in April and August 1981. Dr. Warmbrod, an orthopedic surgeon, found no objective evidence of serious back injury, concluding the problems were psychological. Another physician, Dr. Winston, assessed a 25% disability, but his testimony was deemed insufficient to establish permanency. The trial court dismissed the case, a decision affirmed after a motion to reconsider. The appellate court upheld the dismissal, citing the untimeliness of the plaintiff's request for findings of fact and the presence of material evidence supporting the trial judge's finding against permanent partial disability.
