Floyd v. Quaker Oats6/12/2002
ior event acting alone.
In the present case, the finding of the deputy industrial commissioner on the nature of the prior injury was
he work injury of September , 1993, is found to be a cause of an 11.25 percent permanent impairment of the claimant's right lower extremity and the aggravation of the right lower extremity by the claimant's continued work at Quaker Oats was a cause of a 3.75 percent permanent impairment of the claimant's right lower extremity . . . .
The findings of the industrial commissioner's designee on appeal, while worded somewhat differently, mirror those of the deputy. The opinion of Dr. Coates indicated that, of the 15% work-related impairment, "75 percent of that 15 percent is based upon the [September 3, 1993] injury ." We are satisfied that the agency could interpret this medical opinion as supporting its finding that an 11.25% permanent impairment of claimant's leg was independently caused by the September 3, 1993 injury.
We have considered all issues presented and conclude that the judgment of the district court must be reversed and the case remanded for an order upholding the final decision of the agency.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
All justices concur except Neuman, J. who takes no part.
