Description
This case is an appeal from an award by the Industrial Accident Board. Claimant, Jack A. Earl, Sr. (respondent herein), is
a butcher and maintenance man who suffered a series of back injuries. Earl worked for Swift & Company, one of the appellants
herein, from 1955 to February 14, 1968. He first injured his back during employment on February 25, 1959, while he was carrying
an armature. The attending physician diagnosed that injury as a herniated disc at the L5-S1 level and recommended that a laminectomy
be performed. Earl refused that recommended treatment and Swift paid all medical bills. Earl was additionally injured in 1959
when kicked by a cow and in 1963 when he lifted a heavy steel cover. Both instances resulted in back difficulty and the medical
expenses therefrom were again paid by Swift. Earl again injured his back on February 14, 1968, while he was pulling an electric motor from a truck. He received medical
treatment and the diagnosis by the attending physician was that he had suffered an acute herniated disc at the L4-L5 level.
The physician recommended a laminectomy, but Earl again refused to submit to the surgery. He was given conservative medical
treatment and his condition was declared stable in June, 1968. The attending physician rated his physical impairment at 15%
as compared to the loss of one leg at the hip. Earl and Swift entered into a compensation agreement, which was approved by
the Industrial Accident Board and which provided that Swift would pay partial permanent disability based on the 15% impairment.
Earl was then released from employment by Swift & Company.
