Description
On October 1, 1981, while plaintiff was employed by defendant Salt Lake City, he suffered a fractured skull when a steel beam fell and struck him on the head. He spent nine days in the hospital, and an operation was performed on his skull to relieve the pressure on his brain. Subsequently, several evaluations were made of his physical and emotional condition. His attorney asked the Industrial Commission to make a finding of tentative permanent total disability, by taking into consideration factors additional to Hardmans physical impairment, such as his age and lack of education or skills. After a hearing on October 5, 1983, the administrative law Judge submitted the matter to a medical panel consisting of a neurologist and a psychiatrist, The panel was asked to assess the extent of Hardmans disability and determine whether there was a causal connection between the injury he sustained and the disability he then claimed. The panel found that Hardman had been temporarily totally disabled from October 1, 1981, until July 1, 1982, and that he had a permanent physical impairment totaling twenty-five percent, broken down as follows: fifteen percent for neuropsychiatric syndrome of post-concussion type, five percent for the earlier amputation of the left second finger, and five percent for persistent intermittent and unexplained pain in the left shoulder. The administrative law Judge found that the City had paid $18,351.43 in temporary total disability compensation to Hardman from October 2, 1981, to April 15, 1983, in addition to the payment of medical bills totaling $7,081.12. The Judge determined that because Hardmans temporary total disability ended July 1, 1982, he had been overpaid by the City for temporary total disability from July 1, 1982, to April 15, 1983, in, the sum of $9,177.44. Applying that overpayment to Hardmans permanent partial disability entitlement which was awarded him, the City owed him a balance of $959.44, which it subsequently paid.
