Demery v. Converse, Incorporated

I respectfully dissent from the majority's decision because there is no evidence to support the conclusion that plaintiff is permanently and totally disabled. Instead, I would award plaintiff temporary total disability compensation continuing until such time as he has reached maximum vocational rehabilitation improvement. See Neal v. CarolinaManagement, ___ N.C. App. ___, 502 S.E.2d 424 (1998).

This the ___ day of January, 1999.
