Description
This appeal was generated by an allegedly inadequate compensation award by the Industrial Accident Board to Mrs. Ruth Madron,
appellant herein, arising out of a September 10, 1963, accident which occurred during the course of her employment with the
Green Giant Company, respondent herein. Following the accident, Employers Mutual Liability Insurance Co. of Wisconsin, surety-respondent,
paid appellant's medical expenses ($793.50) and reimbursed her for disability from work ($1,069.65). At the hearings, the
board approved these previously made payments and further ordered compensation to appellant for partial permanent disability
for a period of 9 weeks at $30.00 per week (a total of $270). Appellant, claiming that an osteoarthritic hip condition either
resulted from or was precipitated by the accident, appeals from that award seeking additional permanent disability compensation. The circumstances of the accident are not in dispute. Appellant was working the night shift during the corn canning season
at Green Giant. At the time of the accident, she was working along a conveyor belt inspecting corn. Appellant stepped back
and apparently slipped on a pile of wet corn cobs or shucks. In an attempt to break her fall, appellant twisted severely and
endeavored to grasp a beam. She missed the first beam, but caught a lower one and then fell to the floor.
