Matter of Minnard v. Cortland Glass Co., Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jul 6, 1995
217 A.D.2d 715 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

July 6, 1995

Appeal from the Workers' Compensation Board.


Claimant suffered a compensable back injury while lifting an insulated window unit working as a laborer for a glass contractor. She received treatment and returned to work, but subsequently left her employment as a laborer to do office work for another employer. A Workers' Compensation Law Judge found that claimant suffered no permanent disability and closed the case. The Board affirmed and claimant appeals.

Medical evidence was presented to the Board which indicated that no permanent disability exists. The fact that some conflicting evidence was presented merely raised a question of fact for the Board to resolve. Given that substantial evidence supports the Board's decision, we affirm.

Mikoll, J.P., Crew III, White, Yesawich Jr. and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decisions are affirmed, without costs.
