Akeem J. Humphrey, Appellant v. Lowes Home Improvement Warehouse, Inc., Employer, and New Hampshire Insurance…

Summary

The court affirmed the determination that Humphrey was not entitled to temporary total disability benefits for the period between leaving Lowe's and undergoing back surgery because substantial evidence supported the finding that he voluntarily left employment for reasons unrelated to his injury. The court held that the Commission improperly denied attorney fees for Humphrey's appeal because he prevailed on a significant attorney-fee issue when the Commission vacated and remanded the Board's fee award. The case was remanded for further proceedings concerning appellate attorney fees and the underlying fee award.
