A-17-0227, Gerson Saul Del Cid Escobar (Appellee/Cross-Appellant) v. JBS USA (Appellant/Cross-Appellee)
Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court, Judge Julie A. Martin
Attorney for Appellant: Dallas D. Jones
Attorney for Appellee: Michael P. Dowd
Workers’ Compensation: Compensability of Injury
Action Taken by Compensation Court: The compensation court found Appellee’s emergency medical treatment arose from his work-related injury and was therefore compensable. The compensation court also found that Appellee was entitled to temporary total disability benefits.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: On appeal, Appellant asserts the compensation court erred in finding that Appellee had proved that emergency medical treatment was related to his work-related injury and in finding that Appellee was entitled to temporary total disability benefits. On cross-appeal, Appellee argues the compensation court erred in not awarding him temporary total and temporary partial benefits from the date of the work-related injury through his maximum medical improvement.
