Case Spotlight: Gilman v. Clark County School District

Step into the courtroom and witness a recent case that captured the attention of our lead workers' compensation attorney, Javier A. Arguello – Gilman v. Clark County School District.

In this case, Gilman, a dedicated high school English teacher, found himself in the midst of a student altercation which left him injured. Seeking justice and rightful compensation, Gilman turned to the school district's industrial insurer for support. However, a twist emerged when the insurer initially granted compensation for some of Gilman's injuries but overlooked injuries sustained to his lower back. Determined to fight for his rights, Gilman's attorneys decided to appeal the decision, setting the stage for a case which would ultimately reach the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gilman, granting him the opportunity to reopen his claim for the much-needed lower back treatment.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the crucial importance of familiarizing oneself with workers' compensation laws and understanding the unwavering rights of employees to pursue comprehensive medical treatment for all work-related injuries, regardless of initial acceptance.
