Stephanie Jackson, an Individual, Plaintiff/appellant v. Eagle Kmc L.L.C., Aka Eagle Kmc Transportation, Aka Eagle…

Summary

The court held that the law of the state where an employee's workers' compensation benefits were paid governs the parties' assignment and subrogation rights in a third-party action. Because Jackson received benefits in Nebraska, Nebraska law governed and she retained a legal interest in her claims against Eagle. The court also held that Arizona's out-of-state workers' compensation provision concerns entitlement to Arizona benefits, not assignment rights in third-party claims.
