Citator
UpLaw has not yet analyzed Day v. State Accident Insurance Fund. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
Claimant sustained a back injury on November 20, 1976, when he slipped and fell while getting off a crawler tractor. The determination order closed the claim awarding time loss to the date of closure. The referee and the Workers’ Compensation Board awarded permanent total disability. We reverse, reinstating the determination order. The weight of the evidence in this case indicates that claimant was permanently and totally disabled prior to the November 20, 1976 injury. See Hoag v. Duraflake, 37 Or App 103, 585 P2d 1149 (1978).
Reversed and remanded.
