Helen Jordan v. Department of Health and Human Services

Summary

The Court vacated the Court of Appeals and commission decisions because the administrative record lacked sufficient factual findings to permit meaningful appellate review. The commission had not adequately explained whether plaintiff had a wage-earning-capacity limitation or whether that limitation resulted from her work injury, opioid treatment, or opioid dependency. The case was remanded for further administrative proceedings and factual development rather than decided as a matter of law.
