workers’ compensation for himself. The OIC order did not state
the basis for its determination.
On December 21, 1995, Chatfield filed an appeal in the Court
of Common Pleas, Trumball County, Ohio (court of common pleas).
By order dated August 21, 1996, pursuant to the journal entry of
the court of common pleas filed on June 18, 1996, the Bureau of
Workers’ Compensation (BWC) dismissed Chatfield’s appeal without
prejudice.
On June 26, 1997, another driver for petitioner, Kenneth G.
Jamison (Jamison), filed a claim for workers’ compensation
because of an injury he suffered on June 18, 1997. Basing its
decision upon a signed agreement between petitioner and Jamison
dated March 3, 1997, the BWC denied Jamison’s claim on August 25,
1997. Jamison appealed the denial of his claim to the OIC on
September 4, 1997. The OIC vacated the previous BWC order and
found without stating the grounds for its decision that Jamison
was an independent contractor who had not secured workers’
compensation for himself.
On December 16, 1997, Jamison filed an appeal in the court
of common pleas. On June 8, 1998, the court of common pleas
entered an order of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.
