Cummins v. BCCI Construction Enterprises3/5/2002
t the plaintiff would have reached maximum medical improvement absent the car accident because there was no evidence that the plaintiff completely improved, nor that his condition completely stabilized. Id. at 688, 459 S.E.2d at 801.
In the case at bar, the Commission concluded that " here is no evidence that the increase in plaintiff's symptoms following the raking incident on or about 21 November 1995 was the result of an independent intervening cause attributable to plaintiff's own intentional conduct." This finding is sufficient. As we stated above, the Commission's powers to review the award are plenary and are to be exercised at the Commission's sound discretion. The Commission is not required to make specific findings of fact. Keel v. H & V Inc., 107 N.C. App. 536, 542, 421 S.E.2d 362, 367 (1992). The Commission stated that it found no evidence of an intervening cause. We see no reason why the Commission should be required to unnecessarily explain why it found no evidence. Thus, the Commission did not manifestly abuse its discretion.
V.
For the reasons stated above, we hold that the Commission did not err in reversing the decision of the deputy commissioner. Accordingly, we affirm.
Affirmed.
Judges WYNN and McCULLOUGH concur.
