… A 46-year old operations manager at a office products store was helping a customer load a large filing cabinet in his car. The customer suddenly swung his arm back, striking the manager squarely in the forehead with his elbow. She sustained a concussion and eventually had to quit work. She began receiving worker’s compensation wage and medical benefits. The store’s worker’s compensation insurance company filed a petition to suspend the manager’s wage benefits based on a medical exam by its favorite neurologist. After a hearing was held before the worker’s compensation judge and the neurologist’s deposition was taken, the manager’s claim was settled for a lump sum payment.
