(Supreme Court)
Click on the case name to read the decision on the
Ohio Supreme Court's web site. Decisions which adopt the
decision of a lower court or
Magistrate, or which decide a case based on a previous decision, are
excluded.
When
a dependent who seeks benefits due an injured worker dies, the
dependent's estate is only due those benefits which had accrued at the
time the dependent died.
Vote: 6-0, 1 concurs in judgment only
Opinion by: Per Curiam
Where
dependent benefits are awarded pursuant to R.C. 4123.59, but the
dependent dies before those benefits are awarded, the dependent's
estate is entitled to receive the accrued benefits for the period
between the death of the injured worker and the death of the dependent.
