Maginn v. North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau

VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.

Kathleen Maginn appealed from a district court judgment affirming the North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau’s order discontinuing her disability and rehabilitation benefits because she failed to make a good faith work trial in offered employment. We affirm.

Maginn was employed as an over-the-road truck driver by Raymond Cossette Trucking, Inc. [Cossette]. On July 17, 1990, Maginn injured her back while loading tires onto her truck. The injury was diagnosed as a lumbar sprain. The Bureau accepted Maginris claim and paid benefits.

Maginn has not returned to work…
