Descripción editorial
The Boeing Company — Wichita (Boeing) and Aetna Casualty & Surety Company appeal the Workers Compensation Board's (Board) determination that Anthony K. Lee had suffered a 37 percent work disability. Boeing argues that once the presumption of no work disability applies, it cannot be rebutted by evidence of a subsequent layoff. Lee cross-appeals, arguing that the evidence warrants a higher work disability rating. We affirm. Lee worked for Boeing in the 747 wheel well department. His duties required him to work with 30-pound hand and pneumatic tools. In June 1991, he injured his back when he twisted while using a large hand tool called a squeeze.
