J.B. v. Coseco Insurance Company (17-005803)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to medical benefits. Adjudicator Ferguson held that the claimant suffered minor injuries and was restricted to MIG level benefits. He concluded that the claimant’s rheumatoid arthritis was not caused by the accident, but was instead an unrelated degenerative disease. He also rejected the position that the claimant suffered a pre-existing condition that would prevent recovery under the MIG.
