Stahl Speciality Company Missouri Cases

Ronald Lamy appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's denial of his workers' compensation claim for a left wrist injury, arguing an earlier compromise settlement only covered his left shoulder. The Commission had concluded the prior settlement, which addressed a "left upper extremity" injury, encompassed the wrist injury and thus exhausted its jurisdiction. The appellate court affirmed, finding no legal error in the Commission's determination that the broad language of the compromise settlement, coupled with Lamy's knowledge of the wrist condition, precluded the new claim.
