Case Law Update: Stephens & Sturdivant
Update: 2023-04-18
Description
This one has been 12 years in the making. Ever since the Act was changed in 2011 and a 500-week cap installed regarding entitlement to indemnity benefits, employers and employees have been waiting for the Court of Appeals to decide what it actually takes to have benefits extended beyond 500 weeks. And now we have our answer. Or do we? The Court of Appeals actually vacated its own decision and will reassess after essentially eliminating the 500-week cap by its original decision. We will discuss this case along with a Woodson analysis of what it takes for an employer to be sued in civil court and not have the exclusive remedy protection typically afforded under the Act.
