¶70 As a general matter, an insurer is liable only for those medical conditions caused or materially aggravated by an industrial accident or occupational disease. "Causation is an essential element to benefit entitlement. The claimant has the burden to prove a causal connection by a preponderance of the evidence." Hash v. Montana Silversmith , 256 Mont. 252, 257, 846 P.2d 981, 983 (1993); ... [Read More]

The employer takes the employee as it finds him. Houts v. Kare-Mor, 257 Mont. 65, 68, 847 P.2d 701, 703 (1992). The employee is entitled to compensation if the condition was aggravated or accelerated by an industrial injury. Hash v. Montana Silversmith , 248 Mont. 155, 158, 810 P.2d 1174, 1175 (1991). ...

¶20 However, an insurer's liability only extends to conditions and disability arising as a result of the occupational disease. See Anderson v. Zurich American Ins. Co. , 2003 MTWCC 45, ¶ 37; Markovich v. Helmsman Management Services, 2003 MTWCC 4, Hand v. Royal Ins. Company of America, 2002 MTWCC 65, ¶ 32. "Causation is an essential element to benefit entitlement." Hash v. Montana Silversmith , 256 Mont. 252, 257, 846 P.2d 981, 983 (1993); and see Caekaert v. State Compensation Mut. Ins. Fund , 268 Mont. 105, 112, 885 P.2d 495, 499 (1994). Hence, ICNA can avoid liability if it can show that claimant is suffering from a condition unrelated to the original condition diagnosed by Dr. Headapohl, i.e, if it can show that claimant's condition from 2002 and onward is unrelated to the condition diagnosed in 1998 as an occupational disease. ...

4. The employer and insurer took the claimant as they found her, both with regard to her preexisting physical and emotional conditions. Houts v. Kare-Mor , 257 Mont. 65, 68, 847 P.2d 701, 703 (1992). Thus, the insurer is liable not only for new medical conditions resulting from an industrial accident but also for aggravations of preexisting medical conditions. Hash v. Montana Silversmith , 248 Mont. 155, 158, 810 P.2d 1174, 1175 (1991). ... [Read More]

¶60 The principal and determinative issue in this case is whether the claimant is suffering from TOS, or at least TOS-type symptoms, related to her September 1, 1998 industrial injury. An insurer is liable only for medical conditions caused by the industrial accident. "Causation is an essential element to benefit entitlement." Hash v. Montana Silversmith, 256 Mont. 252, 257, 846 P.2d 981, 983 (1993); and see Caekaert v. State Compensation Mut. Ins. Fund, 268 Mont. 105, 112, 885 P.2d 495, 499 (1994). Section 39-71-704, MCA (2001), which governs medical benefits, expressly provides in relevant part: ... [Read More]
