Description
In this workers' compensation case, Shelley A. Hillen (claimant) requests that lawn care services be awarded as medical benefits payable by respondents, Tool King (employer) and Colorado Compensation Insurance Authority (CCIA). We affirm the decision of the Panel to deny claimant payment for lawn care. Claimant suffered a work-related injury which resulted in amputation of her left leg. The CCIA admitted liability for permanent total disability benefits and initially paid claimant for lawn care services based on the authorized treating physician's recommendation. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ordered that continued payment of these lawn care services was necessary because of the lack of coordination in ambulation, resulting from the amputation, as well as claimant's susceptibility to further injury.
