Ohio Supreme Court Ruling Raises Concerns for Injured Workers
Ohio Supreme Court ruling in State ex rel. AutoZone Stores, Inc. v. Indus. Comm raises concerns for injured workers, limiting access to temporary total disability benefits and reinforcing the precedent that employers can contest claims for disability benefits.
