Ohio Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtWright, J.
The sole issue presented by these cases is whether a mental disorder occasioned solely by job-related stress is compensable as an occupational disease under R.C. 4123.68 of the Workers’ Compensation Act. No Ohio appellate court has ever recognized a workers’ compensation claim for mental injury or mental disease caused solely by job-related stress which is unaccompanied by physical injury or occupational disease. In the absence of a clear mandate from the General Assembly that these claims are now recognized in Ohio, we decline to expand coverage of the Workers’ Compensation Act to them.1
