Sykes v. Zellerbach

EDWARDS, Judge.

This is a suit for worker’s compensation benefits. On August 17, 1982, during the course and scope of his employment with Crown Zellerbach, Inc., Douglas Sykes slipped on a floor while carrying a stack of cardboard boxes and injured his left arm and shoulder. He was off work from the date of the accident until February 6,1984, during which time Crown paid him weekly compensation benefits and also paid all of his medical expenses. In this suit, Sykes seeks additional compensation from Crown for the permanent partial disability he suffered due to the fall.

Crown does not dispute…
