Description
Lewis A. Hicks sustained a back injury in the course of his employment as a crane operator. Industrial Indemnity Company, hereinafter referred to as Industrial, voluntarily furnished medical care and temporary compensation. After substantial treatment Hicks returned to work for his former employer, where he is able to do some, but not all, of the work to which he was assigned before his injury. He suffers from a disability of his left leg and is unable to use it extensively. He is able to operate cranes requiring the use of only one foot for braking (gantry cranes), but is not able to operate other cranes requiring the use of both feet for braking (steam or diesel cranes). The record contains no competent evidence establishing with which of these machines Hicks was predominantly occupied prior to his injury. Hicks has considered the possibility of surgery, but has refused it because of medical advice that his chances of improvement are not great.
