Wade Hoag vs. Greenwood Homes, Inc, Twin City Fire Insurance Company

This case involved a workers' compensation claim for Wade Hoag, who sustained a severe injury resulting in paraplegia. The initial decision found the injury compensable but questioned the appropriateness of modifying the applicant's parents' home in Ohio for accommodation. The parties subsequently entered into a Compromise and Release agreement resolving all claims. The Appeals Board reviewed and approved this agreement, awarding the applicant $2,650,000.00, with a portion allocated for future medical treatment via a self-administered trust.
