Edward Arthur Nielson v. State Idaho

On April 28, 1980, while working for Allied Paving Corporation, Claimant Nielson was involved in an accident which resulted in a compression fracture of his first lumbar vertebra. Claimant was treated by Doctor Gresham. Subsequently, claimant and Allied's surety entered into a compensation agreement reflecting the 15% of the whole man impairment rating given to claimant by Doctor Gresham. On June 8, 1981, claimant filed an application for hearing with the Commission seeking benefits for total permanent disability. The application was filed against Allied, its surety, and the Industrial Special Indemnity Fund (ISIF). Subsequently, claimant and Allied entered into a settlement agreement, and Allied and its surety were dismissed from the case.
