Syllabus

Trial court erred by granting directed verdict in favor of employer on claim for lumbar radiculitis. Although testimony from claimant's medical expert was equivocal on whether lumbar radiculitis was a pain symptom of another condition or an independent condition, it was not proper to weigh the credibility of various portions of the medical expert's testimony in ruling on a motion for directed verdict. Because portions of the medical expert's testimony constituted some evidence of substantive probative value, reasonable minds could not reach only one conclusion in favor of the employer.
