Court of Appeals of North Carolina December 3, 1985, No. 8510IC267 (Pittman v. Inco, Inc.)

EAGLES, Judge.

Following a hand injury in 1981, plaintiff returned to work in May 1982. He gave defendant employer INCO a “disability certificate” from his treating physician which stated he could do “light work” but “will not be able to lift heavy objects until he gets strength back in [left] hand.” Plaintiff initially worked in shipping, doing deliveries and light errands.
