(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

Injured worker who was working was not entitled to temporary total compensation.
Vote: 6-1
Opinion by: Per Curiam
The
purpose of temporary total compensation is to compensate an injured
worker for lost earnings. Therefore, a claimant who is receiving
temporary total and performs activities in a workplace environment is
not barred from receipt of temporary total if (1) the claimant is not
paid for the activities, and (2) the activities are not inconsistent
with the claim that the claimant is incapable of performing their prior
work activities.
