Wurth argued the Commission erred in finding him permanently and totally disabled before his 2008 work injury, asserting the decision lacked substantial competent evidence. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's award, deferring to its factual findings that Wurth was unemployable in the open labor market prior to his 2008 injury due to prior conditions and significant employer accommodations.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","appellate-procedure","evidence","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=145293","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/james-wurth-appellant-v-treasurer-of-missouri-as-custodian-of-the-second-107335","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
