Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leo F.J. Wilking, Special Assistant Attorney General, Fargo, ND, for appellee.


VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.

[¶ 1] Timothy R. Swenson appealed from a district court judgment affirming an order of Workforce Safety & Insurance ("WSI") denying him benefits for the treatment of his cervical and thoracic spine. Because the administrative law judge ("ALJ") did not apply the correct standard when evaluating the medical opinions in this case, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
