Emert v. Ford Motor Co.

CRIST, Judge.

Employee, Richard Emert, sought workers’ compensation benefits for an accident which occurred at his place of employment, Ford Motor Company (Employer). The Division of Workers’ Compensation found Employee had sustained an accident which arose out of and in the course of his employment. It awarded Employee $24,167.80 for a permanent partial disability of 40 percent. However, it refused to award the majority of Employee’s past medical expenses, finding they were unauthorized expenses. On appeal, the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission (Commission) affirmed the award.
