The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission awarded him benefits, finding his PTSD was a compensable occupational disease caused by \"extraordinary and unusual\" work-related stress. The City appealed, arguing Dahman failed to meet the statutory requirement. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's award, concluding that sufficient competent evidence supported the finding that Dahman's work-related stress was extraordinary and unusual by objective standards.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=195893","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/city-of-clinton-v-robert-dahman-d85780","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation","text: workers' compensation","text: labor and industrial relations commission","text: occupational disease"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
