In the Matter of the Claim of WILLIAM MILLER, Respondent, against ASSOCIATED TRANSPORT, INC., et al., Appellants. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BOARD, Respondent.

The employer was engaged in the freight transportation business at Brooklyn, New York, and claimant was employed by it as a truck driver. On June 18, 1948, while he was driving the employer's trailer truck the front wheel thereof struck a curb stone and caused the steering wheel to turn around quickly with the result that claimant's right wrist was caught and twisted between the spokes of the steering wheel. As a result of that accident it is conceded claimant sustained severe injuries to his wrist and right forearm. The only issue on this appeal is whether the award to claimant should be a schedule one, pursuant to provisions of paragraphs a and s of subdivision 3 of section 15 Work. Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law, or for a permanent partial disability in accordance with the provisions of paragraph v of subdivision 3 of section 15 Work. Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law. The board made an award to claimant for permanent partial disability. The evidence sustains that finding. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the Workmen's Compensation Board.
