Petitioner vs. Diversified Hospitality Company
After the parties proceeded to trial, the arbitrator found the petitioner failed to prove that his injuries caused by a slip and fall that took place in his employer’s parking lot arose out of his employment. Instead, the arbitrator found the injury arose from personal risk.
Petitioner vs. Temporary Staffing Agency
The petitioner alleged a back injury which occurred in the week leading up to his termination. Due to our investigation, our attorneys obtained a voice message from petitioner that makes no reference to an alleged accident, but rather frustration due to being terminated. The arbitrator found the respondent’s witnesses and evidence to be more convincing than the petitioner’s testimony and denied benefits.
Petitioner vs. Burial Vault Manufacturer
This was a contested case involving the issue of whether the petitioner suffered an accident at work. The arbitrator found the petitioner lacked credibility, especially given his failure to mention his alleged work accident to three separate medical providers after the alleged date of accident, and denied compensation.
