[Workers' Compensation] Temporary Benefits
Due During Period of Unrelated Med...
An asthma flare up, that delayed
surgery for a compensable back injury,
was not a reason to halt the payment
of workers' compensation temporary
disability payment. The Court held:
"....when treatment for the original
work related injury is delayed due
to unrelated conditions, the claimant
was entitled to continued disability
benefits during the entire period."
"The compensation judge correctly
ordered continued temporary
disability benefits from
November 9, 2006 through February 17,
2007, "the period of time when [Schock]
was unable to proceed with an
authorized anterior fusion at C5-6 and
C7 because of asthma flare-ups
unrelated to the work accident."
Schock did not refuse treatment, there
is no evidence that she was able to
return to work or that she was at
maximum medical improvement during
the brief delay in her neck surgery.
Her asthma condition was temporary
and beyond her or her doctor's
control."
Shock v Morristown Memorial
Hospital/Atlantic Health Systems,
Docket No, A-1658-09T2, (NJ Ap. 2010),
Decided July 2, 2010
