Description

This is a workmens compensation case. In response to special issues, a jury found that on November 24, 1949, the appellee, E. A. Henthorn, sustained accidental personal injuries while in the course of his employment with Lester A. Jones, the employer. The jury found that these injuries resulted in total and permanent incapacity for a period of 150 weeks, commencing on the day of the accident; and the jury also found that the appellee suffered a 75% partial permanent incapacity, likewise commencing on the day of the accident. Because the jury found that both the total and partial incapacity began on the same day, the appellee waived the findings of the jury on total disability and moved for judgment on partial disability only. On this basis, judgment was rendered in favor of the appellee and against the appellant, Texas Employers Insurance Association, the compensation insurance carrier, for 300 weeks of compensation at $25 per week, commencing on December 1, 1949. From this judgment, the appellant has regularly prosecuted its appeal.
