A regional board of review, however, allowed the claim, which was affirmed by the Ohio Industrial Commission.

Writing for the majority, Cook said the assault "occurred neither during his working hours, nor at his place of employment, nor while he was fulfilling his working duties. Stivison's injuries were, therefore, not sustained 'in the course of his employment, as that phrase is interpreted by Ohio law." Resnick wrote in the dissenting opinion that the ruling means "that if you suffer disabling injuries as a result of having truthfully answered your employer's work-related inquiries, it is you alone who will bear the burden of the economic loss." Associated Press COLUMBUS A man attacked by a co-worker for reporting that he left the job early is ineligible for workers' compensation, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled. justices voted 4-3 on the decision, which was released Wednesday. Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer and Justices Deborah L.

Cook, Paul E. Pfeifer and Evelyn L. Stratton agreed on the majority opinion. Justices Alice Robie Resnick, Andrew Douglas and Francis E. Sweeney dissented.

Court records said Richard Stivison, an employee at the Goodyear Tire Rubber Co. plant in Logan, was accosted by colleague Jeffrey McCormick in a restaurant near the plant in November 1992. Stivison suffered two black eyes, a broken nose and two broken bones in his left forearm that required surgery. He filed for workers' compensation, contending the injuries arose from his employment. He said McCormick was angry because he answered truthfully when his supervisor, Bill Egger, asked if McCormick had left work early the previous day.

Stivison told Egger that McCormick had been leaving early regularly. Ethelyn E. Richards Dec. 2, 1991 Jan. 1,1998 Ethelyn E.
