Wisconsin Worker Entitled To Compensation Despite Intoxication
Wisconsin Supreme Court rules William Larsen entitled to worker's compensation after drunken on a business trip led to frostbite. He had several drinks at a tavern during a Tigerton trip in January 1996, slept in a snow-covered trailer, frostbite required amputations, and the court upheld 15 percent reduction previously set by the Industry Review Commission. Three justices dissented, arguing no employment connection to the harm.
