Oregon Supreme Court

Robinette v. Saif

June 3, 2022369 Or. 767

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the Workers' Compensation Board, holding that only loss of use or function that is "due to the compensable injury" qualifies as impairment under ORS 656.214, so the claimant is not entitled to compensation for reduced range of motion and decreased stability that were unrelated to the work injury.
