Boise Cascade Corp. v. Jackson

After Remand from the Alabama Supreme Court

This case involves whether Tommie L. Jackson ("the employee") is entitled to workers' compensation benefits outside the benefits provided in the schedule listed in Ala. Code 1975, § 25-5-57. On original consideration of this case, this court determined that

"the employee may not recover non-scheduled disability benefits in this case on the basis of complaints of back pain in the absence of a showing that the injury to his foot had caused a permanent physical injury to his back."
