Highlight

Courts are more circumspect about applying administrative res judicata than judicial res judicata, taking into account (1) the subject matter decided by the administrative agency, (2) the purpose of the administrative action, and (3) the reasons for the proceeding.
Unless otherwise provided, statutes in effect on the date of injury govern a claimant's right to collect workers compensation benefits.
A willful failure to give a maximum consistent effort in a functional capacity assessment can constitute noncompliance with vocational rehabilitation.
