Personal injury complaint arising from car accident; plaintiff’s prior workers’ compensation claim was relevant to allege aggravated injury from car accident; if plaintiff raises a material issue during the direct examination of its witnesses, defendant cannot be prevented from discussing the same issue during cross-examination or rebuttal; trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling motion for a new trial when jury verdict was based primarily on plaintiff’s credibility and when that was undermined by plaintiff’s contradictory testimony.
The trial court did not err in finding that appellant was not entitled to participate in the Workers' Compensation Fund where he was injured in a car accident on his way to work but his commute did not constitute a special hazard exception to the coming and going rule.

Insurance fraud takes many forms from those who collect workers' compensation benefits even though they are able to work to people who stage accidents to collect insurance money to unscrupulous healthcare providers who bill twice for the same service. And, no matter how it is done, from inflating damages from a car accid...
An employer's liability for workers' compensation benefits terminated when its employee settled his personal injury claim against a third party without first obtaining the employer's consent, the Indiana Supreme Court has ruled in affirming an administrative denial of benefits. The plaintiff was a truck driver for the defendant who was injured in car accident with a third party. The defendant's workers' compensation coverage paid the plaintiff's medical expenses.
The family of a man who investigated workers' compensation claims will not receive benefits after his death in a car accident, the Missouri Court of Appeals has held.

Workers compensation: employee who worked as home health care aide who suffered injuries in car accident while on personal time between work sites was not entitled to participate in workers compensation system.
According to National Insurance Crime Bureau estimates, insurance fraud costs American consumers nearly $30 billion on an annual basis. NYAAIF Chairman Tom Sullivan said the involvement of officials in communities throughout the state provides a powerful tool in fraud prevention. Research indicates that insurance fraud takes many forms: from those who collect workers' compensation benefits even though they are able to work to people who stage accidents to collect insurance money to unscrupulous healthcare providers who bill twice for the same service. And, no matter how it is done, from inflating damages from a car accident to extending a legitimate workers' compensation benefit, insurance fraud is a crime punishable by law.

THE CASE OF THE paralysed Waitara 16-year-old forced to live on his own because he is not eligible for ACC assistance highlights again one of the great anomalies of New Zealand's health system. Kristian Duckett lost the use of his legs and all feeling in his lower body through what is believed to be the equivalent of a stroke in his back. Had this occurred on a sports field or in a car accident he would almost certainly have been eligible for accident compensation. Because it is an unusual, but "natural" event he is not. It is an injustice that has troubled the much-debated accident compensation system for years.
