Kline; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellants. (Andrew S. Kasmer, on brief), for appellee. Neka Granite Imports, Inc., Sussex Insurance Company, and Companion Property & Casualty (collectively “employer”) appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding that Luis Paz was entitled to permanent total disability benefits. Employer contends the Commission erred by finding that Paz was unable to use his injured members in any gainful employment and that he reached maximum medical improvement to his right arm injury. We have reviewed the record and the Commission’s opinion and find that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the Commission in its final opinion. See Neka Granite Imps., Inc. v. Paz, JCN 2242733, 2017 VA Wrk. Comp. LEXIS 21 (Va. Wrk. Comp. Jan. 11, 2017).
