Granite School District v. Labor Comm.

Summary

The Utah Supreme Court declined to disturb the Labor Commission’s order awarding Robyn Young permanent total disability benefits and denying Granite School District a subrogation offset. The court held that the medical-panel instructions adequately separated industrial injuries from non-industrial stressors, that refusing to reopen the evidentiary record was not an abuse of discretion, and that substantial evidence supported the challenged disability findings. The court also concluded that the record did not show that Young’s settlement with debt-collection agencies compensated her for the work injuries.
