State ex rel. Parr v. Indus. Comm.

Citations

• 2025 Ohio 5595

Syllabus

The magistrate did not err in finding that the commission used the wrong standard when determining whether relator presented evidence of new and changed circumstances with his second application for permanent total disability. The magistrate correctly applied the Supreme Court of Ohio's decision in Prinkey to this matter. Relator presented a medical report indicating that he was permanently and totally disabled. Furthermore, the commission's own medical reports indicated an increase in relator's whole-person impairment. The commission's decision failed to explain why these medical reports were not evidence of new and changed circumstances for purposes of R.C. 4123.58(G). The court grants a limited writ of mandamus, remanding this matter back to the commission for it to make findings regarding R.C. 4123.58(G) under the proper legal standard.
