Description
This is a workmens compensation case. Plaintiff was injured in the course of his employment when a heavy joint of pipe struck him on the left leg and broke both bones in the leg just above the ankle. While the allegations of the petition might be broad enough to include an original general injury, no issue submitting that theory was given or requested. Special Issue No. 1, which inquired whether the injury to plaintiffs foot "extended to or affected parts of the body other than the foot, thereby causing incapacity," was answered by the jury in the affirmative. On the basis of this finding and others relating to the extent and duration of the plaintiffs disability, the trial court rendered judgment in his favor for total incapacity for 80 weeks and partial incapacity for an additional 100 weeks. The Court of Civil Appeals affirmed. 374 S.W.2d 280.
