Channel (Blacker) Rish v. Home Depot

Idaho Supreme Court

Decided February 28, 2017No. Docket 43677PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtBurdick, Chief Justice

This appeal arises from an Industrial Commission (the Commission) order denying medical care benefits to Channel Rish. The Commission held that Idaho’s Worker’s Compensation Act did not require Respondents to *704pay for the medical care Rish received after she achieved maximum medical improvement because that medical care was deemed unreasonable. On appeal, Rish contends the Commission’s order is not supported by substantial and competent evidence, and moreover, the Commission misapplied the governing legal standard when determining whether the medical care was reasonable. We vacate and remand.
