1Opinion of the CourtKuhn, J.

12Claimant-appellant, Denise T. Ranzino, appeals the dismissal by summary judgment of her claims for medical treatment as well as for penalties and attorney fees against her former employer, defendant-appellee Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center (OLOL), based on OWC’s conclusion that claimant could not sustain her burden of proving that the need for surgical intervention was related to the accident for which she suffered an on-the-job injury. Finding an outstanding issue of material fact precludes dismissal of her claims by summary judgment, we reverse.
