WV Workers’ Compensation Statute of Limitations Addressed by Supreme Court

By Steven K Wellman Of Jenkins Fenstermaker, PLLC on 06/29/2018

On May 17, 2018, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals issued a decision applying the WV workers’ compensation statute of limitations to bar an untimely. The court’s decision has broad implications for workers and employers across West Virginia. While it gives employers solace in that it is an employee's responsibility to initiate the claim process by filing a timely WC-1 form, it also reminds employers that a worker’s reliance on conduct by the employer or a claim administrator regarding the filing of a claim may prevent the employer from relying on the statute of limitation to deny an untimely filed claim.

The first two blogs covered employee retirement benefits and Social Security retirement benefits. This blog turns to why you should discuss Social Security disability benefits with your West Virginia estate planning lawyer.

Arch Coal, Inc. v. Lemon: When Job Activity Worsens a Noncompensable Injury

By Steven K Wellman Of Jenkins Fenstermaker, PLLC on 06/21/2018

In a very rare WV workers’ compensation rehearing, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has reversed its earlier decision denying a workers’ compensation claim for a secondary injury. In the first opinion, the court determined that the injury was not compensable because it was not work-related. On rehearing, the court withdrew its earlier decision, finding it was based on an inappropriate re-weighing of the facts. The court affirmed the determination by the West Virginia Workers’ Compensation Board of Review, which had concluded that when job activity worsens a noncompensable injury, the resulting new injury is compensable.
