Court of Appeals Affirms Two Permanent Total Awards

In Bethany Lutheran Home v. Boner, No. 1-217 (Iowa App. June 15, 2011) and Swine Graphics Enterprises v. Peterson, No. 1-223 (Iowa App. June 15, 2011), the court of appeals affirmed two agency decisions finding that claimants were permanently and totally disabled.  As might be expected, the decisions were premised on the fact that the commissioner's decisions were supported by substantial evidence.  Both decisions were summary affirmances, saying little other than that the commissioner's decisions were supported by substantial evidence.

Court of Appeals Affirms Finding Claimant Suffered a Mental Health Condition Arising Out of His Employment, Concludes That Claimant's Injuries are to be Determined Industrially

  Turner v. NCI Building Systems , No. 23-1003 (Iowa App. Jan. 9, 2025) Claimant was found to have suffered a mental health injury at work, but that injury was found not to be permanent.  The commissioner also concluded claimant had suffered injuries to his bilateral lower extremities, left shoulder and thoracic spine and awarded a 40% industrial disability. Claimant sought to have the report of a pain psychologist, provided two days after hearing, into evidence and this request was initially denied by the deputy, but allowed by the commissioner.

Court of Appeals Affirms Sanction on Claimant for Service of Subpoena

  Tuttle v. Archer Daniels Midland Co. , No. 23-1941 (Iowa App. Jan. 9, 2025) In this unusual case, the deputy ordered claimant to reimburse her employer $3900 for allegedly harassing conduct in the service of a subpoena on a doctor.  Claimant alleges the sanction was a nullity because the agency lacked the authority to adjudicate subpoenas.  The Court disagrees and affirms the commissioner's sanction. The Court had earlier addressed this case and had remanded to the district court to determine whether all administrative remedies had been exhausted and to determine whether review of agency action would provide an adequate remedy.  The district court found administrative remedies adequate and indicated claimant must exhaust such remedies before proceeding. Because claimant had not appealed to the commissioner, there was still a remedy to be exhausted.   The case arose when claimant served a subpoena  on the employer's expert.  ADM subsequently soug...
