## Opinion text

PAPADAKOS, Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion because it is just common sense that you cannot claim medical expenses for an injury you cannot prove ever existed. As the majority points out, the legislature has not created a separate time frame in which to claim medical expenses separate and apart from all other losses that may arise from work-related injuries.
