The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's judgment and remanded the case for reconsideration regarding the calculation of work injury compensation. The plaintiff argued for a rent based solely on lost wages, while the defendant contended that the plaintiff retained partial work capacity and should not receive full compensation. The court ruled that the appellate court erred by ignoring the statutory requirement to deduct the value of the plaintiff's remaining earning capacity from the total damages awarded.
