Employee filed workers compensation claim for work-related injuries to both knees. Record supports Commission's decision that employee's left knee condition was causally connected to his work accident, finding that he fell while working on stilts, and landed on both knees. Conflicts in testimony of physicians were for Commission to resolve, and its decision was not against manifest weight of evidence. Award of 107-4/7 weeks of TTD benefits was supported by record and not against manifest weight of evidence. (HOLDRIDGE, HOFFMAN, HUDSON, and STEWART, concurring.)
