Work Comp Arbitration – a dangerous job!

For your entertainment pleasure, I bring you Jon Coppelman’s post on an Illinois workers comp arbitrator who
– fell on courthouse steps, injuring most of his extremities
– filed a claim for “post-traumatic carpal tunnel” – anyone have the ICD 9 for that???
– ruled on carpal tunnel cases for 230 prison guards who claimed carpal tunnel syndrome from turning keys in sticky locks…
very, very entertaining.
