Heading: one-judge hearing

Text: After the one-judge hearing on October 29, 1985, an award was entered, with a finding that the accident of August 1, 1985, was a cause of Mendoza's temporary total disability and that, therefore, Wausau Insurance Companies is liable for all compensation due after that date and as a consequence of that injury, so long as Mendoza's temporary total disability continued. Tower had paid Mendoza for his total temporary disability benefits which had accrued before August 1, 1985. The one-judge award also contained a finding that no reasonable controversy existed and ordered Wausau to pay an additional amount (50 percent for waiting time involving delinquent payment of compensation) and an attorney fee. See § 48-125. Wausau took over payment of benefits to Mendoza for temporary total disability and requested a rehearing.
