A discussion of a news release published by the Texas DOI announcing the rates for the upcoming quarter.

A summary of the Texas bulletin approving NCCI code 8871.

The claimant raised four arguments to the court, including an alleged lack of good faith, and violation of statutes.

While the injury occurred in the course of employment, the court considered whether it arose from employment, and determined if the risk was a mixed risk or a personal risk.

The court reversed the ruling of the lower courts and affirmed the standard by which workplace injuries due to everyday movements should be reviewed.

The South Carolina Supreme Court looked at the Joint Employer Doctrine to determine if both employers would be held responsible for the workers' injuries.

The court ruled in that way because traveling employees are governed by slightly different rules from regular employees.

The employer mailed a notice of intent to contest the claim just before the deadline, but it was not received by the Workers' Compensation Commission until after the deadline.

Is the mere presence of an increased risk in a person's work environment sufficient to connect that person's injuries to their employment for workers compensation purposes?
