Clois Junior Clark v. Peterbilt Motor Company

The plaintiff filed this compensation complaint in which he alleged he sustained injury to both arms as a result of continuing repetitive use thereof while working as a welder for the plaintiff. The trial judge found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded him temporary total disability benefits and found he had sustained a 30 percent permanent partial impairment to both arms. The defendant contends the trial judge erred in finding the plaintiff's medical problems arose out of and in the course of his employment and that the award of 30 percent impairment to each arm was excessive. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
