Ray Ingles v Corrigan Bros.
Release Date: 8 18 2021 (Aug 2014)
Venue: Callaway County
Summary: Commission affirms denial of PTD benefits against the SIF when expert opinion exclusively relied upon qualifying and non-qualifying medical conditions. A dissent regarded consideration by experts of non-qualifying disabilities was not reversible error. ALJ Farmer further noted claimant failed to show PTD from a "single" pre-existing disability and opined he was "constrained" by the statute as it was "currently construed." The Commission noted a lack of evidence that the prior aggravated or accelerated the disability based on the statute.
