Description
American Filtrona Company appeals from an award entered by the Workers Compensation Commission finding American responsible for the cost of medical treatment for Sue E. Hanfords hepatitis condition. The Commission ruled that Hanfords hepatitis, contracted in 1981, was a compensable consequence of an injury by accident suffered in 1978. American contends that the Commission erred: (1) in its first review opinion when it reversed the deputy commissioners order dismissing Hanfords claim as barred by the time limitation provided by Code 65.1-87 (now Code 65.2-601), and remanded the matter for an evidentiary hearing on causation; (2) in its second review opinion when it treated the issues decided in its first review opinion as final and as res judicata; (3) in its second review opinion when it held that payment of Hanfords hepatitis-related medical bills was the responsibility of American because American accepted Hanfords disability by execution of a supplemental memorandum of agreement dated July 7, 1987; and (4) in its second review opinion when it held that Hanford had carried her burden of proving that her hepatitis condition was causally related to her initial industrial injury. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the Commissions award.
