Kentucky Supreme Court

Graybar Electric v. Jeremy Starr

February 19, 2026

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the Workers’ Compensation Board’s decision, holding that the ALJ’s factual misstatement was not reversible error and that the Court of Appeals misapplied Bowerman by allowing the ALJ to revisit an interlocutory factual finding without newly‑discovered evidence. The Court affirmed the Board’s determination that the fusion surgery was non‑compensable and that the temporary total disability award was proper.
