Description
Volvo White Truck Corporation (Volvo) appeals from an order of the Industrial Commission directing reimbursement to claimant, Robert Donald Hedge, of medical expenses for an eye examination and eyeglasses, and awarding him attorneys fees. Volvo contends that Hedge is barred from recovery because he refused a medical examination at the request of the employer. Also, Volvo contends that there is no credible evidence that the treating physician referred Hedge for an eye examination or that Hedges eye condition was caused by the industrial accident. Finally, Volvo urges that we disallow the attorneys fees because, as a matter of law, its defense of the claim was not unreasonable. We affirm the award of medical expenses, but reverse the award of attorneys fees.
