Rodriguez v. State ex rel. Department of Workforce Services, Workers' Compensation Division
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the district court affirming the ruling of the district court affirming the decision of the Medical Commission upholding the order of the Department of Workforce Services denying Appellant's application for permanent total disability benefits under the odd-lot doctrine, holding that there was no error.
On appeal, Appellant argued that substantial evidence did not support the Commission's determination that he failed to show his degree of obvious physical impairment, coupled with other facts, qualified him for odd-lot treatment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Appellant failed to meet his burden to establish a degree of physical impairment; and (2) the Commission's credibility determinations were not arbitrary and capricious.
