How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• common law and workers’ compensation actions were coexisting remedies but inconsistent because the worker could recover only one of the two
• the pursuit of a compensation claim to a final judgment constitutes an election of one of the two options
• “Therefore, those plaintiffs who did in fact pursue their claims to a final ruling by the [Workers’ Compensation] Commission are precluded from disregarding that . . . choice and pursuing common law claims against the same employer for the same injury.”
