Ackley v. Labor Comm’n
Ackley v. Labor Comm’n, 2024 UT 119 (Christiansen Forster, J.)
Administrative
An employee challenged the Utah Labor Commission’s denial of her claim of workers’ compensation benefits and asserted that the Commission erred in its application of the idiopathic fall doctrine to her workplace accident. The Utah Court of Appeals reversed, holding:
- Compensation can be awarded in idiopathic fall cases if an employee can demonstrate that the hardness of the workplace floor increased the severity of the injuries caused by an idiopathic fall.
