Description
On August 16, 1977, while employed at the potato processing plant of Carnation company, claimant suffered an industrial injury. Timely notice of the accident was given to the employer and claimant was released from work for medical treatment. Claimant was treated by several different doctors but was primarily under the care of Dr. Gnuechtel, an orthopedic surgeon who diagnosed claimant's injury as a chronic low back strain. On March 29, 1978, he wrote to Travelers, rating claimant at a medical impairment of 10%. On May 2, 1978 he modified the impairment rating to 15% because of a recurrence of pain. Claimant was not released to return to work. Based upon Dr. Gnuechtel's first letter, Travelers Insurance prepared a compensation agreement with 10% impairment rating which claimant signed and returned to Travelers. After receipt of the agreement, Travelers received the changed medical impairment rating of Dr. Gnuechtel, and changed the agreement to read 15% impairment. Travelers then submitted the agreement to the Industrial Commission and the Commission approved the agreement on June 26, 1978.
