Mosher v. Whole Foods Market

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed the Workers’ Compensation Court’s award of a waiting‑time penalty and attorney‑fees to Marlene Mosher, holding that there was no reasonable controversy as to her entitlement to benefits and that the statutory fee provision includes work performed by a legal assistant. The Court also rejected the employer’s arguments that the penalty calculation and reliance on its own admissions were erroneous.
