Description
, 51 St.Rep. 894 Submitted on Briefs May 12, 1994. Claimant Arlis Reeverts sustained a work-related injury to her back on March 16, 1984, which resulted in substantial permanent
physical impairment. Reeverts' employer, Sears, Roebuck & Company, paid her an indemnity benefit based on her impairment
rating, but no other partial disability benefits for this work-related injury were paid. On April 6, 1989, while working for
the same employer, she suffered a subsequent industrial injury which caused her total disability. The Workers' Compensation
Court awarded Reeverts 500 weeks of permanent partial disability benefits pursuant to § 39-71-703, MCA (1983), for
the injury sustained in 1984, but suspended payment of these benefits until her entitlement to total disability benefits for
the subsequent injury terminated. The court also awarded Reeverts attorney fees and costs, but denied her request for a 20
percent penalty pursuant to § 39-71-2907, MCA (1983).
