Rural Metro Corp. v. Industrial Commission of Arizona11/30/1999
le addressed. Accordingly, we reject Rural Metro's claim that Marriott II does not control here.
Because we find no specific language in our workers' compensation statutes precluding an employee's claim for benefits against a subsequent employer for consecutive, industrially related injuries based on the employee's unreasonable conduct, we must conclude, pursuant to Marriott II, that such circumstances are not a bar to compensation under our statutory scheme. Section 23-1021 provides that an employee's injury is compensable so long as it is industrially related and has not been purposely self-inflicted. Having previously found that Defore's aggravation of her shoulder injury was both industrially related and not purposely self-inflicted, her injury was compensable.
Accordingly, we affirm the award.
J. WILLIAM BRAMMER, JR., Presiding Judge
