B. F. Goodrich v. Frost

1 Kenneth Frost filed a Workers Compensation Claim in June of 1978, alleging that he had sustained an accidental injury to the right side of his rib cage, right shoulder, and upper back, on April 12, 1978, during the course of his employment. At that time, claimant was a "physically impaired person", as he had sustained an injury to his hand in 1977 and had been awarded a 16% permanent partial disability to the body as a whole. The Workers Compensation Court found that as a result of the 1978 injury, the claimant had a 19% permanent partial disability to the body due to the right shoulder injury and a 15% permanent partial disability due to the upper back injury.
