Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Ahlers and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (7 pages)
Robert Thomas appeals a ruling on judicial review that affirmed the workers’ compensation commissioner’s appeal decision. OPINION HOLDS: I. Substantial evidence supports the finding that Thomas failed to show his injuries are sequelae of a prior work injury. II. Under the statute in effect when Thomas sustained the work injury, his employer is entitled to credit for overpayment of temporary disability and healing period benefits against payment of permanent partial disability benefits for the same injury.
