Description
Defendants Montgomery Ward Long Term Disability Trust (LTD Trust) and Montgomery Ward and Company, Inc., appeal as of right from a decision of the Marquette Circuit Court awarding plaintiff long-term disability benefits in accordance with an employment trust agreement. Plaintiff cross-appeals from the circuit court's decision denying plaintiff actual costs following defendants' rejection of a mediation award. Plaintiff, who has only an eighth-grade education but has attained his GED certificate, began working for Montgomery Ward in 1963. In June of 1975, plaintiff suffered a neck injury when he fell while carrying a roll of carpeting or linoleum. Plaintiff was diagnosed as having minimal spondylitic (inflammation) changes with a tiny chip fracture of one vertebra. The injury caused a loss of sensation in plaintiff's lower extremities whenever he flexed his neck forward. As a result, plaintiff is unstable on his feet and has an increased risk of falling down.
