Yocom v. Milish

STEPHENSON, Justice.

Milish filed claim with the Workmen’s Compensation Board alleging a low-back injury in the course of his employment. The Board concluded in its opinion and award that Milish was 100 percent disabled, that 80 percent of the disability resulted from “conversion reaction,” a preexisting disease condition brought into disabling reality by the injury, and 20 percent caused by the traumatic injury. The award was “open end” and directed proportional payments of 80 percent by the Special Fund and 20 percent by the employer, C. W. Transport, Inc. No appeal was taken from this award.
