Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This workers compensation appeal questions the construction of K.S.A. 44-519 relating to usage of written reports of health care providers by a vocational rehabilitation expert without the testimony of the health care provider being properly admitted as competent evidence in a proceeding for the determination and collection of compensation. Jamie D. Roberts appealed the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (Board) decision that it would not consider the testimony of a vocational rehabilitation expert as to her work disability. The expert's opinion was based upon restrictions and recommendations contained in medical reports of physicians which were not admitted as competent evidence in the case.
