Broken hand ruling raises concerns - Chicago Tribune
Iowa employers are raising concerns about a state administrative judge's decision to award worker's compensation and medical benefits to a part-time United Parcel Service employee who broke his hand when he lost his temper and hit a trailer.

The damages were awarded by a state administrative law judge who acknowledged that the worker had not been truthful about how he broke his hand and was fired for destroying customer packages and creating a hostile work environment.

This story reminds me way too much of....

...."The burglar broke into my home, tripped on my son's skateboard, sued me and got a $million. Ridiculous !!

Just another example of a judicial system that has lost its perspective.
