Hynes v. Good Samaritan Hosp.

by
Plaintiff, a registered nurse employed by Good Samaritan Hospital, commenced this action in the Workers’ Compensation Court alleging that mental injuries she received as the result of three assaults that occurred during the course of her employment rendered her unable to work. The compensation court found in favor of Plaintiff, concluding that Plaintiff sustained a 100 percent loss of earning power due to the psychological injuries. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the compensation court was not clearly wrong in finding that Plaintiff suffered from major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder as a result of her psychological injury while working for Good Samaritan and that she was left permanently and totally disabled as a result.
