Description
While working for defendant as a meat wrapper, plaintiff sustained an accidental injury on December 14, 1982, when a conveyor belt fell, causing a severe and crushing injury to her right leg at the calf. Plaintiff sought total disability on three alternative grounds: first, based on an injury to her back resulting from the leg injury; second, separate and distinct injuries in the form of back injury and/or psychological disorder; or, third, the leg injury alone prevented plaintiff from performing the work she was doing when injured or any other work for which she is fit. The trial court rejected the first two approaches, but found total disability on the basis of the leg injury itself. It awarded plaintiff attorney fees of $24,727.50 for two attorneys and court costs of $6,990.95.
