IN RE AVALOS, W.C. No. 4-229-072 (7/17/95)


IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF JUAN M. AVALOS, Claimant, v. WESTERN PAVING CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, Employer, and INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, Insurer, Respondents.

W.C. No. 4-229-072Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
July 17, 1995

FINAL ORDER

The claimant seeks review of a final order of Administrative Law Judge Stuber (ALJ) which awarded disfigurement benefits. We affirm.

The ALJ awarded $2,000 for the claimant’s disfigurement. This is the maximum allowable award for disfigurement under § 8-42-108, C.R.S. (1994 Cum. Supp.). Consequently, we fail to perceive any basis for the claimant’s objection to the award. Further, the claimant has not filed a brief suggesting any basis for setting aside the award.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the ALJ’s order, dated February 24, 1995, is affirmed.
