Description

This case involves the question of whether an employee can recover multiple attorneys fees when his employer controverts his workers compensation claim more than once. Edwin Bignell was injured in the course and scope of employment while employed by Wise Mechanical Contractors. Wise was insured for workers compensation claims by Industrial Indemnity Company of Alaska, Inc. (Both will be collectively referred to as "Wise.") Bignell injured his back on March 9, 1978 when he slipped while carrying some lumber. Wise paid temporary total disability benefits to Bignell until July 20, 1979, when it paid him a $6,000 permanent partial disability benefit.
