Ed Hook achieved a remarkable and hard-fought victory in Armbruster v. Rocky Mountain Cardiology and State Farm Insurance. Judge Friend granted respondents' request to withdraw their admissions of liability, held that respondents overcame a DIME by Dr. Bennett Machanic by clear and convincing evidence, denied claimant's request for penalties, and then denied and dismissed the entire claim! Claimant was represented by attorney Mark Elliott.
James Clifton earned two recent wins. In Sandoval v. Gibson's Discount Center and REM, Judge Martinez denied a petition to reopen by claimant, who was represented by attorney Christopher Seidman. In Snodgrass v. Wal-Mart, Judge Martinez denied a claim for temporary disability benefits by claimant, who was represented by attorney Joanna Jensen.
Harvey Flewelling won at two hearings and teamed with Mr. Clifton for wins on two appeals. In Porter v. Wal-Mart, ICAO set aside Judge Martinez's order regarding average weekly wage. In Mosley v. Asphalt Paving Co. and CIGA, ICAO upheld Judge Felter's average weekly wage order. Also, at hearing in Mosley, Judge Felter denied a claim for penalties by claimant. In Garcia v. Allied Mechanical and California Indemnity Insurance, Judge Felter denied and dismissed the claim.
