On July 20, 2016 the Idaho Industrial Commission filed their Finding of Fact Concussions of Law and Order in Funke v Atkison Logging Company Inc. and Liberty Northwest Insurance. <\/em>In this case the Claimant suffered a compensable accident which resulted in Total Permanent Disability. It left him with a burst fracture of L1, a right below knee amputation, paraplegia, \u00a0neurogenic bowl and bladder, and without sensation below the wrist.\u00a0 Mr. Funke loved to deer hunt even after his Idaho Worker\u2019s Compensation accident. He was given an ATV for mobility by Liberty. While he was deer hunting on November 18, 2009 on his ATV, he fractured his right femur while getting off of his ATV. The Surety denied the claim. While deer hunting again on his ATV on December 1, 2014 he fractured his left femur. Liberty denied both of the claims taking the position that this was a subsequent accident and not part of his Idaho Worker\u2019s Compensation claim.<\/p>\n

The Claimant contended at the hearing that the fractures were the direct and natural consequence of osteoporosis which arose from the Claimant\u2019s paralysis caused by the compensable industrial accident. Two of Claimant\u2019s treating physicians offered their medical opinions in support of the claim that the osteoporosis lead to him breaking the two femurs. The total medical bills calculated to $95,732.93.<\/p>\n
