A-18-207, Picard v. P&C Group d/b/a Camaco (Appellant)
Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court, Judge Julie A. Martin
Attorney for Appellant: Jessica R. Voelker (Law Officers of Steven G. Piland)
Attorney for Appellee: Lee S. Loudon, Joseph A. Huckleberry (Law Office of Lee S. Loudon, PC, LLO)
Civil: Workers’ Compensation
Action Taken by Trial Court: The workers’ compensation court found that the employee, Picard, was entitled to recovery for her 2012 and 2015 work-related injuries and that apportionment was not appropriate.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: The appellant (employer) has appealed asserting that the trial court erred in assessing the loss of earning power to the 2015 injury; that the court’s decision that apportionment does not apply was clearly wrong; and there was a sufficient basis in law and fact to dispute payment of benefits, thus barring any claim for attorney fees and penalties.
