Injury Cases: Intervening Injury
(Court of Appeals)
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.
Where
compensation is denied based on intervening injury, Commission must
explicitely state the nature and effect of the intervening injury so
that court can determine if effect of decision is termination of claim
(in order to know whether decision can be appealed under R.C. 4123.512).

industrial injury.
