Sellers v. Reefer Sys., Inc.
Annotate this CaseAppellant William Sellers injured his left knee in the course of his employment with Reefer Systems and sought workers' compensation benefits. The Nebraska workers' compensation court determined that Sellers was entitled to future medical care for the knee injury. A review panel of that court affirmed the award but modified it to exclude knee replacement surgery at present, as the evidence as of the date of trial did not support such a finding. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the modification did not limit Sellers' ability to claim workers' compensation benefits relating to any future knee replacement surgery, and thus, the compensation court review panel did not err in affirming the award as modified.
