State ex rel. Oldaker v. Industrial Commission

{¶ 1} Appellant, Kenneth D. Oldaker II, appeals the judgment of the Tenth District Court of Appeals denying his request for a writ of mandamus that would require appellee Industrial Commission to award him compensation for working wage loss. The court of appeals determined that the evidence in the record supported the commission’s decision to deny Oldaker’s application, because he failed to make a good-faith effort to search for comparably paying suitable employment when unable to return to his former position as a firefighter.

{¶ 2} We agree and affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
