Description
Claimant, Paul Schieno, appeals a judgment of the Workers Compensation Court, denying him permanent total benefits under Section 39-71-119(2), MCA, for coronary heart disease. Schieno claimed that his 26 years as a Billings firefighter contributed to the development of the disease, or at least aggravated it, and therefore he was entitled to full benefits. The trial court, however, determined from the evidence, including expert medical testimony, that the claimants condition had been neither caused nor aggravated by his employment, and that Schienos personal risk factors such as heavy smoking, strong family history of heart disease, and high blood pressure were the probable causes of the condition. The trial court also denied claimant his attorney fees under Section 39-71-611, MCA, and the statutory 20% penalty under Section 39-71-2907, MCA. We affirm.
