State ex rel. Romero v. River City Drywall Supply, Inc.
Annotate this CaseAppellant was injured during the scope of his employment. In 2010, the Industrial Commission of Ohio found that Appellant had a six percent permanent partial disability and granted him compensation accordingly. In 2010, the Commission increased the award by four percent for a total of ten percent permanent partial disability. In 2011, the Commission again amended Appellant’s claim to include an additional condition and increased the award by an additional four percent. Appellant filed a complaint in mandamus alleging that the Commission’s order awarding only a four percent increase was not supported by the evidence. The court of appeals denied the writ. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the Commission did not abuse its discretion in adopting a percentage of disability that fell within the range suggested by two doctors.
