2023Employer’s Point III is denied. 21 Motion for Damages for Frivolous Appeal In Collins’s Point IV on cross-appeal, he requests that this Court award him attorney fees pursuant to Rule 84.19 for requiring him to respond to what he asserts is Employer’s frivolous appeal. 10 Rule 84.19 provides that “[i]f an appellate court shall determine that an appeal is frivolous it may award damages to the respondent as the court shall deem just and proper.” “The authority to assess damages for a frivolous appeal rests within the sound discretion of this court.” Bugg v.

2023Similarly, in Ritchie, the Commission found, even though a doctor had treated Ritchie in 2014 for elbow pain that the doctor believed was exacerbated by her operation of a forklift, the doctor who diagnosed Ritchie with complex regional pain syndrome, lateral epicondylitis, and cubital tunnel syndrome in 2017 “was the only diagnostician to make a causal connection between the repetitive motion disease and some work-related activity or exposure.” Ritchie, 625 S.W.3d at 792, 796.

2023Employer argues that this Court’s focus should be on interpreting the word “condition” in the statute to mean “defective state of health” such that Collins’s “condition” was the disc herniation at L5-S1 that was discovered by an MRI performed on April 11, 2018. “‘Looking to the plain, obvious, and natural import of the [statutory] language, it follows that a person cannot be diagnosed with an “occupational disease or repetitive trauma” until a diagnostician makes a causal connection between the underlying medical condition and some work-related activity or exposure.’” Ritchie, 625 S.W.3d at 79

2002The city contends the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission erred in awarding claimant benefits for his neck injury because claimant failed to comply with the notice requirements of § 287.420; that claimant failed to prove the city was not prejudiced by the lack of timely notice “and failed to demonstrate any good cause for failing to give timely notice of his injury.” The purpose of § 287.420 “is to enable the employer to minimize injury by providing medical diagnosis and to facilitate timely investigation of facts surrounding the injury.” Gander v. Shelby County, 988 S.W.2d 892, 895 (Mo.

Allcorn v. Tap Enterprises, Inc. green
moctapp · 2009
2 sentences

2023Employer disagrees with the Allcorn court’s determination that it is not the diagnosis of a medical condition itself that triggers the notice requirement of section 287.420 but, rather, when “a diagnostician makes a causal connection between the underlying medical condition and some work-related activity or exposure.” Id. at 829 .

2023Employer contends that the Commission erred in relying exclusively on Allcorn v. Tap Enterprises, Inc., 277 S.W.3d 823 (Mo. App. S.D. 2009), in finding that the notice requirement pursuant to section 287.420 was not triggered until the Diagnostic Doctor opined on June 17, 2020, that Collins’s work duties caused his occupational disease.
