Report Link Ohio Supreme Court Bars Common Law Workers' Compensation Retaliation Claims.
Jackson Lewis LLP - January 15, 2008
At-will employees who believe that they were retaliated against while receiving workers' compensation benefits are limited to claims under the state's anti-retaliation statute, the Ohio Supreme Court has held in Bickers v. W. & S. Life Ins. Co., Slip Op. No. 2007-Ohio-6751 (2007). This is good news for employers because at-will employees no longer can rely on the Court's controversial decision in Coolidge v. Riverdale Local Sch. Dist., 100 Ohio St. 3d 141 (2003), which allowed for two separate causes of action: a statutory retaliation claim and a wrongful discharge claim based on public policy.
