Description
STEINERT, J. -- Plaintiff was injured in February, 1942, while engaged in extrahazardous employment as defined and classified in the workmen's compensation act. He was hospitalized, given medical treatment, and reimbursed for his time loss. His claim for compensation, filed with the department of labor and industries, was closed by the supervisor of industrial insurance in June, 1942, with an award of $418.80 for permanent partial disability. Being dissatisfied with the amount of the award, plaintiff petitioned for and was granted a rehearing by the joint board. At the rehearing, testimony of both lay and expert witnesses was taken. Upon consideration of the entire record before it, the joint board sustained the order of the supervisor. Plaintiff thereupon appealed to the superior court, where trial was had by jury upon the departmental record. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in a sum considerably greater than the amount of the original award. The department moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The motion was denied, and judgment on the verdict was entered. The department appealed.
