Description
Claimant, Clara D. Johnson, filed an application for an award under the Workmen's Compensation Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.1 et seq.) for injuries she allegedly received bending to lift a part from a tub while employed with Caterpillar Tractor Company at its Mossville facility. An Industrial Commission arbitrator awarded compensation for temporary total incapacity for work and for partial permanent loss of the use of her legs, finding claimant sustained accidental injuries arising out of and in the course of her employment. The Commission affirmed. On certiorari to the circuit court of Peoria County, the Commission's decision was reversed, the circuit court finding the award of the Industrial Commission to be contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. Claimant has appealed to this court pursuant to Rule 302(a) (73 Ill.2d R. 302(a)). The claimant testified that on August 9, 1976, while at her employment at a burr bench and washing tank, she bent over a tub to lift out a part she would work on and felt a sudden pain in her back. Neither its weight nor a description of the part is disclosed in the record. She complained to a fellow worker of the injury and asked her line supervisor if she could go to the first aid department. There she received heat treatment to her back and went home before completing her shift. The following day she consulted her family physician, who placed her in a hospital. She underwent a lumbar laminectomy at the hospital and testified that she has continuing pain in her back and both legs.
