Weber v. City of Grand Rapids, 2010 ACO #91
The plaintiff was determined to have a disabling psychological condition caused by his employment that prevented him from returning to work in that capacity. Prior to the trial, the plaintiff was released by his doctor and subsequently failed to prove that he was unable to perform his previous jobs as a mechanic and a welder. The magistrate determined that the plaintiff was no longer disabled and did not award wage loss benefits.

Key Point: The period of disability ends when the plaintiff is released to return to work and fails to prove that he/she is unable to perform pre-injury work.
