Search Tips

Multiple words are treated as being joined by the operator AND.

For example, the query drug test will find documents containing the word drug and the word test.

Multiple words within quote marks are treated as a phrase.

For example, the query "drug test" will find documents containing the phrase drug test.

The operator AND is assumed by default to connect adjacent words or phrases.

The operator OR may be used between adjacent words or phrases. If used, it replaces the assumed AND.

Use a minus sign (or dash) in front of a word to exclude results containing that word.

For example: the query "drug test" -misconduct will find decisions that do include the phrase drug test, but that do not include the word misconduct.

Please note: if an operator word (AND, OR) is included within quote marks, it is not treated as an operator, but simply as a word.

For example, the query "drug AND test" will only find documents containing the three-word phrase drug and test.

About the Database

Please note that this is not a collection of all of LIRC's Worker's compensation decisions, but only of a limited number that have been archived based on a staff assessment that they might be useful as research tools. Neither the inclusion nor the omission of any particular decision should be taken as an indication of the commission's views on the general significance of the decision.

Please note also that these decisions have been converted to an online format, and for that reason they should not be considered exact reproductions of the originals. These versions of the decisions are provided here as an aid to research only. Copies of decisions may be obtained at the commission's offices.

Please note further, that the capsule summary of the decision that appears on the search results page is not part of the commission's decision and does not necessarily reflect the views of the commission. The summaries are editorial content created by commission staff solely for the purpose of aiding researchers in quickly identifying whether a decision found by searching may touch on issues that they are researching.

While the names of all of the members of the commission are listed in the signature block in the decisions, this is not necessarily an indication that all members signed the decision. In earlier cases, the information as to which members signed is not reflected in the version of decision at this website. In most decisions issued since early 1998, that information is provided by the indication " /s/ " before the name of each member of the commission who joined the decision.
