United Parcel Service v. Outlaw

Carley, Chief Judge.

On September 26, 1985, appellee-employee received a blow to his right foot in an on-the-job accident. He received workers’ compensation in the form of temporary total disability income benefits until he returned to work on February 10, 1986. Because the accident had necessitated the amputation of three of appellee’s toes, appellants-employer/insurer commenced the payment of permanent partial disability income benefits to him. These benefits were calculated by appellants on the basis of the actual loss of appellee’s three amputated toes. See OCGA § 34-9-263 (c) (11).
