Description
This is a compensation case. Appellee, plaintiff in the court below, alleged that on July 25, 1957, while working in the scope of his employment for The Austin Company, he received an injury to his back while carrying a barrel of water. Appellees claim was submitted to the Industrial Accident Board, and on December 24, 1957, that Board made an award. Plaintiff was dissatisfied with the award and appealed to the District Court of Fort Bend County. Trial was had in that Court and the jury returned a verdict favorable to the plaintiff, and among other things found that he was totally and permanently disabled. The judgment recites that plaintiff is entitled to judgment against defendant for Workmens Compensation benefits at the rate of $25 for a period of 401 weeks, commencing from the date of the injury, July 25, 1957; that compensation payments from July 25, 1957, to May 17, 1958, have accrued, and fixed the amount past due at $1,036.25, with interest; that plaintiff is entitled to compensation for the remaining period of 360 weeks and 1 day at the rate of $25 per week, and found that such payment shall be made in a lump sum, allowing a discount of 4% per annum, and fixed the total amount due appellee at $8,914.87, and set aside the award of the Industrial Accident Board, and decreed accordingly. Appellant seasonably filed its motion for new trial and it being overruled perfected its appeal to the Houston Court, and the cause is here on transfer.
