Experience

Represented an asphalt paving and construction company in a workers compensation action before the Ohio Supreme Court wherein the plaintiff alleged entitlement to workers’ compensation benefits for a psychiatric condition. The court ruled in the defendant/employer’s favor, accepting the defendant’s interpretation of the statutory provision which only provides for the compensation of psychiatric injuries that arise from a compensable physical injury sustained by the plaintiff.
Represented a truck leasing company in a workers’ compensation action in which the plaintiff asserted entitlement to temporary total disability benefits despite his retirement. The court ruled in the employer’s favor, and denied temporary total disability benefits, finding that the plaintiff did not demonstrate through medical evidence that his departure from the workforce was causally related to his industrial injury.
Represented a temporary service agency in a workers’ compensation action in which the plaintiff sought temporary total disability benefits. The court ruled in favor of the employer, accepting its argument that the plaintiff was not entitled to such benefits because she voluntarily abandoned her employment with the company when she failed to report for a modified work assignment.
