BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Humorous argument, serious court diss

Reprints

A workers compensation claimant seen drinking and partying in photos posted on Facebook and Myspace called the evidence against his case “a disgrace to the dignity of the workers' compensation proceedings and the legal system.”

His argument against allowing use of the photos to deny his claim for benefits strikes Comp Time as a bit amusing.

He claimed he suffered in pain from a work-related hernia and back injury.

The Arkansas Court of Appeals found the photographs “could have a bearing on the claimant’s credibility.” Smack!
