Workers' Compensation, Robert R. Potter Dec 1980

Workers' Compensation, Robert R. Potter

Mercer Law Review

This survey article covers a two-year period ending May 31, 1980. During that time, the appellate courts reviewed over 150 cases involving workers' compensation, a selected number of which are discussed and analyzed in this article. Legislative changes have been few since the sweeping revisions which became effective July 1, 1978. The most significant revision was a procedural one limiting appeals in workers' compensation cases beyond the superior court level.' Appeals to the court of appeals are no longer as a matter of right, but are discretionary in the nature of a petition for certiorari. This law, which became effective …

Workers' Compensation In Georgia Municipal Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

For the last sixty years, workers' compensation has constituted a distinct subject of administration in Georgia municipal government and, consequently, a distinct subject of controversy in Georgia municipal law. Of course, many of the problems, issues, and solutions ar ethe same, whether the covered employment be municipal or private in nature. Still, municipal law possesses its own quagmires, quandaries, and conundrums; some of those peculiarities can yield unique questions regarding workers' compensation. Whether general or unique, the appellate courts have rendered a number of decisions on the subject, and those decisions make for yet another compact chapter in Georgia municipal …

Mitchell And Its Progeny: An Analysis Of Recent Developments In The Payment Of Temporary Total Disability Benefits In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Joseph S. Beeson

West Virginia Law Review

The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, since it achieved its present composition by virtue of the November, 1976, general election, has had a dramatic impact on the development of workmen's compensation law in West Virginia. Although it is difficult to single out the most significant decisions of the court in this area, most practitioners would probably agree that the two cases having the greatest impact upon workmen's compensation practice and related matters are Mandolidis v. Elkins Industries, Inc. and Mitchell v. State Workmen's Compensation Commissioner. The Mandolidis decision received extensive treatment in an earlier article in this law review …

Recovery For Accidental Injuries Under The Virginia Workmen's Compensation Act, Douglas E. Ray, R. Craig Evans, Jay H. Steele

University of Richmond Law Review

The Virginia Workmen's Compensation Act, first enacted in 1918, generally provides for case benefits and medical care to individuals injured in employment-related accidents. While the Act is neither tort law nor social insurance, it contains elements of both. As social legislation, the Act plays an important role in protecting citizens from loss of wages and provides an important supplement to protection available from the federal Old Age, Survivors' Disability and Health Insurance Program, unemployment compensation and private health and accident insurance plans. In 1979, more than 43,000 Virginia employees filed claims under the Act. Unlike other social insurance programs, however, …
