See Ind. Admin. Code tit. 31, 3-1-12(a) (1996) (stating that long term disability benefit payments are limited to a maximum of four (4) years). See also Traders General Ins. Co. v. Pittsford, 411 S.W.2d 755, 756-58 (Tex. Civ. App. 1967)(affirming a finding of total permanent disability; holding that a trainee position would not preclude a finding of total permanent disability because, should plaintiff lose this position, he could not go back to any of his previous types of occupations); Kamensky v. State Compensation Comm'r, 134 S.E.2d 582, 583-84 (W. Va. 1964)(15 months of light duty, post-injury work did not preclude a finding of total permanent disability because claimant's impairment would continue to make it difficult for him to find employment should his new position end, as it did here; reversed and remanded with directions to grant him an award of total permanent disability). Second, work that is highly accommodated to suit the needs and disabilities of a particular claimant cannot defeat a claim of total permanent disability where it is clear that the claimant could not find similar work under normally prevailing market conditions.
We find the evidence sufficient to support the finding that his incapacity was total. An injured workman may be able to earn money at a job not requiring manual labor and still be totally disabled under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Aetna Casualty and Surety Co. v. Curlee, 416 S.W.2d 890 (Tex.Civ.App., Fort Worth 1967, no writ); Traders General Ins. Co. v. Pittsford, 411 S.W.2d 755 (Tex.Civ.App., El Paso 1967, writ ref'd n.r.e.). Although Simon testified that he can do some type of work other than driving a truck, he has little other working experience. More than a year and a half after his injury he tried selling shoes and then working at a service station, but he was unable to continue in either employment.
