Sanders v. Leeson Air Conditioning

In a compensation proceeding the medical testimony as to the causal connection between relators present disability and an accident arising out of his employment was in sharp conflict. On this appeal it is asserted that the respondents medical experts based their opinions on the absence of symptoms conclusively proved to exist. Respondents doctors, in answer to hypothetical questions, so framed that many of them assumed facts as favorable to relators case as the record warrants, denied any causal connection between the accident and relators disability. Under the circumstances, there was sufficient evidence to support the denial of compensation.
