Description
Opinion by JUDGE PIERCE Petitioners, Western State College (Western State) and its workmen's compensation insurance carrier, the State Compensation Insurance Fund (Fund), seek review of a final order of the Industrial Commission granting a petition filed by the claimant, Murray A. Setzer, to reopen two separate claims for benefits that arose out of successive injuries to his back. The first injury occurred on December 27, 1975, while claimant was employed by Western State, and the second on October 27, 1979, while claimant was employed by S & L Development. Competent evidence was presented regarding the apportionment of disability as between the two injuries. The Commission determined that claimant's condition had worsened since the two previous awards were entered and that claimant was entitled to additional benefits for temporary total disability. The Commission further determined that the worsening of claimant's condition was causally related to both of his prior injuries and that liability for any additional benefits awarded the claimant should be apportioned between both employers and their respective insurance carriers. We affirm the order of the Commission.
