Summary from the Troubh Heisler Attorneys

Wilson v Stillwater Health Care, Inc. - Where employee’s credibility was unreliable and the board 312 IME’s exam via telehealth may have impeded the evaluation, the ALJ did not err in rejecting the 312 IME opinion. Where there was a prior agreement establishing a 15% permanent impairment, and the board found the employee failed to meet her burden of proof on a petition for restoration, the ALJ should not have used the language that employee failed to establish “ongoing causation” as that may incorrectly imply a finding the effects of the work injury ended.
