OPINION FILED JANUARY 4, 2011
Upon review before the FULL COMMISSION, Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.
Claimant represented by the Honorable Jeremy Thomas, Attorney at Law, Blytheville, Arkansas.
Respondent represented by the Honorable Guy A. Wade, Attorney at Law, Little Rock, Arkansas.
OPINION AND ORDER
This claim is presently before the Commission on remand from the Court of Appeals. In a decision delivered June 3, 2010, the Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the Full Commission and remanded for an award of benefits. Accordingly, we hereby find that the claimant was performing services at the time of his July 6, 2007 accident. Therefore, we find that the claimant has proven by a preponderance of the evidence that he sustained compensable injuries on July 6, 2007.
All accrued benefits shall be paid in a lump sum without discount and with interest thereon at the lawful

rate from the date of the Administrative Law Judge’s decision in accordance with Ark. Code Ann. § 11-9-809 (Repl. 2002). For prevailing on this appeal before the Full Commission, claimant’s attorney is hereby awarded an additional attorney’s fee in the amount of $500.00 in accordance with Ark. Code Ann. § 11-9-715(b)(2) (Repl. 2002).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
