Philadelphia. Richard Simpson, hewer.
On 25th June, 1923, Simpson sustained a compound fracture of the leg by a fall of stone. On 21st January, 1924, he was certified by Dr. Todd as able to do light work and worked till 22nd February. Simpson alleged he was unable to continue at the light work and asked for full compensation to be restored.
Dr. Kelly reported on 25th March, 1924 :—
"He was in Sunderland Royal Infirmary a number of months and attended there subsequently (the orthopaedic department) for electric baths and massages. He began work at bank but could not bear the standing, with the result that the leg swelled and became painful and he cannot do the work he is set to do.
The leg bone is not very well united but as good as possible under the circumstances and the foot falls in and causes pain on working."
Claim allowed.
