Ernest L. Atkinson v. Signage, Inc.,

In this appeal, the employer and its insurer insist the trial court erred in awarding permanent total disability benefits where the injured employee has returned to work for the same employer at a wage equal to or greater than his pre-injury wage and is working forty hours per week. The employer and its insurer also insist the trial court erred in commuting a portion of the award to a lump sum. As discussed below, the panel has concluded the trial court committed no reversible error.
