City of Gadsden v. Johnson

This is, in effect, the second time this matter has been before this court.

In September 1993, Johnny A. Johnson sued his employer, the City of Gadsden ("the City"), seeking to recover workers' compensation benefits for injuries he allegedly suffered in a February 15, 1993, on-the-job accident. On October 4, 1996, the trial court entered a judgment finding, in part, that Johnson had suffered a 90% loss of earning capacity and a 90% vocational impairment as a result of his February 15, 1993, on-the-job injury. After the trial court denied its postjudgment motion, the City appealed.
