Psychological conditions are ineligible for workers' compensation in Ohio

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that psychological conditions are ineligible for workers' compensation based on Kimberly McCrone's case.

Kimberly McCrone, a former bank teller in Bank One Corp., has not been able to return to work since confronted by a robbery in August 2001. She has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The 5-2 ruling said that workers' compensation payments can be applied to the disabled workers for work-related psychological conditions only if the same incident causes a physical injury.
