Case Details
Our client was employed for years as a logger and hurt his lower back when he fell off a piece of heavy equipment that got stuck in a ravine. The worker’s comp insurance company terminated all his benefits even though he needed ongoing medical care and he was unable to return to any work.
Additional Notes
We proceeded to trial and proved that our client was permanently disabled and needed ongoing medical care. The insurance company appealed. The Indiana Court of Appeals confirmed the award and held that the attending physician and the Workers’ Compensation Board are the ones who control appropriate medical care for injured employees - it is not within the control of the insurance industry. Case: Young v. Marling, 900 N.E.2d 30 (Ind. App. 2009).
