Description

Plaintiff, in an accidental injury within the Workmens Compensation Act, lost total sight in his right eye. The parties stipulated that defendants paid "all benefits to which Plaintiff would be entitled under the scheduled injury provision...." The scheduled injury provision is Â§ 52-1-43, N.M.S.A. 1978. The stipulation recites that the benefits paid consisted of 53 weeks for the healing period and 120 weeks for the blindness in one eye. The parties also stipulated that plaintiff has a 45 percent permanent partial disability as a result of the accident in which he was blinded in one eye and that plaintiffs "sole physical injury" as a result of that accident was confined to the eye. The trial court ruled that compensation benefits were limited to those provided in Â§ 52-1-43, supra. Plaintiff appeals, contending he is entitled to compensation benefits on the basis of a 45 percent disability. We disagree.
