Decision

Decision  Robert J. Smith v. Kingston Oil and Gas

Date: 06/24/1999
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 013165-96
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Robert J. Smith
  • Employer: Kingston Oil and Gas
  • Insurer: Great American Insurance Company

WILSON, J. The insurer appeals from a decision in which the administrative judge denied its complaint to modify or discontinue the employee’s weekly benefits for total and temporary incapacity, based on her finding that the employee’s refusal to undergo cervical disc surgery was not unreasonable. Because there are sufficient findings and evidence to support the judge’s conclusion, we affirm the decision.
