Petitioner, a custodian worker for Respondent for over 20 years, claimed he sustained injuries to his bilateral hands and arms as a result of his repetitive job activities. Petitioner demanded that Respondent authorize surgery for his carpal and cubital tunnel conditions. Respondent denied the claim with Clayborne, Sabo & Wagner attorney Jennifer Barbieri arguing that Petitioner’s job duties were not repetitive and did not contribute to the development of Petitioner’s injuries. The Arbitrator agreed with Ms. Barbieri’s position and the evidence put forth on behalf of the employer in ruling that Petitioner failed to prove that he sustained a work-related accident and that he failed to prove that his current condition of ill-being was related to the alleged accident. The Arbitrator continually relied on Ms. Barbieri’s cross-examination of both the Petitioner, as well as Petitioner’s treating surgeon, as the evidence upon which her decision was based. All benefits were denied. Utley v. Cahokia School District #187.
