<bold>Workers' Compensation — denial of claim — abuse of discretion — stubborn</bold> <bold>unfounded litigiousness</bold> <block_quote> The Industrial Commission abused its discretion in a workers' compensation case by finding that the denial of plaintiff employee's claim was justified, because even though part was indeed based on reasonable grounds regarding plaintiff's October 2002 lumbar laminectomy and her February 2003 thoracic and lumbar surgery, part of defendant's defense of this claim was unreasonable and constituted stubborn unfounded litigiousness when defendant had no evidence at the time of the denial that plaintiff's injuries were anything other than work-related. Plaintiff is entitled to additional attorney fees for that portion of the time her attorney spent responding to the Forms 61 and 63, but not that spent on refuting the allegations that her later surgeries were due to her pre-existing conditions.</block_quote>
