Sample of Legal Cases
The Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down the Opt Out Act on September 13, 2016 as an unsconstitutional special law.
The case was denied at the trial level and we appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court where the decision was reversed and a rebuttable presumption was re-established.
The Court of Appeals held that jurisdiction did exist because of the estoppel act.
The Court of Appeals held that the claimant timely filed his request to reopen his claim.
Court of Appeals held that sovereign immunity did not apply to the instant case and the workers' compensation court did have jurisdiction over the claim.
The Supreme Court held that the surviving spouse was entitled to benefits even though not living with the decedent at the time of death and the natural children of the decedent were also entitled to benefits
The Supreme Court held that the two year statute of limitations in effect at the time of this injury started as of the date payment was last made for medical treatment related to the injury
The Supreme Court held that the accrual date was properly the last date temporary total disability was paid not the date the last injury was settled.
