Stricker v. Children's Mercy Hospital(2009)
January 23, 2009
The Commission affirmed the administrative law judge's award allowing workers' compensation for an employee who turned her ankle while wearing clogs at work on September 23, 2006. A dissenting opinion argued the injury did not arise out of employment because the employee voluntarily chose to wear the clogs, which were not required by the employer.
Johnson v. Town & Country Supermarkets, Inc.(2007)
November 13, 2007
The Commission affirmed the administrative law judge's award denying workers' compensation benefits to Randy Johnson for a right ankle injury sustained on July 29, 2006, while walking through a grocery store aisle. The employee's injury resulted from a non-work-related misstep where his foot rolled inversion-style with no external cause, which did not arise out of or in the course of employment under the 2005 Workers' Compensation Act.
Sanford v. ABC Moving & Storage(2006)
June 27, 2006
The Commission modified the Administrative Law Judge's award regarding Second Injury Fund liability, affirming that the employee sustained permanent partial disability (not total disability) but correcting a miscalculation in the benefit amount. The corrected award is 22 weeks of compensation at $347.05 per week, rather than the 33 weeks originally awarded, based on proper calculation of combined disabilities.

Barnette for a right ankle injury with permanent total disability sustained on June 26, 2001, while working for Sachs Electric Company.
