This case involves an appeal from the decision of a workers' compensation judge. The workers' compensation claimant, Ronald Evans, requested that his employer, Waste Management of New Orleans, pay for surgery that had been recommended by the orthopedic surgeon who was treating him. Waste Management denied the request, and Mr. Evans asserted his claim before a workers' compensation judge, who also denied the claim.
