James Clifton experienced the thrill of victory in Kim v. U.S. Home Corporation. Judge Wheelock held that claimant was an independent contractor and thus the claim was not compensable. Mr. Clifton also won on the issue of compensability in Douglas v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Judge Gartland held that claimant failed to prove the spider bite he sustained occurred at work.

Richard Bovarnick successfully defended a claim for medical benefits in Bakken v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Judge Harr found the opinion of Dr. John Bender more persuasive than that of Dr. Tamara Miller on the issue of whether claimant needed a cervical MRI.

Harvey Flewelling and Mr. Clifton earned an appellate victory in Stevens v. Express Personnel Services and Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania (ICSP). ICAO affirmed Judge Matoon's order that ICSP was entitled to reimbursement of temporary disability benefits from Colorado Compensation Insurance Authority. Mr. Flewelling and Mr. Bovarnick also teamed for a win on appeal in Jett v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., by convincing Director Whiteside to rescind a penalty of $47,700 she had previously assessed against Wal-Mart on her own motion.
