Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama

1Opinion of the Court

This is a workmen's compensation case.

The trial court found that the employee suffered a permanent and partial disability to the body as a whole and as a result thereof suffered a 75% loss of her capacity or ability to earn a livelihood.

The employee appeals, contending that the trial court erred in establishing only a 75% disability under the provisions of permanent partial disability as outlined in § 25-5-57 (a)(3)(g), Code of Alabama 1975, rather than a permanent total disability under the provisions of § 25-5-57 (a)(4), Code of Alabama 1975.

We find no reversible error and affirm.
