Elvid Hinojosa
Mr. Hinojosa was injured 2/21/05 when his police motorcycle was rear-ended causing him to slide hitting a curve throwing him to the cement which resulted in severe head and brain injury. The insurance company disputed his claim indicating that the claimant was not in course and scope of his employment. We proceeded to take it to Contested Case Hearing, at which time the Hearing Officer found in favor of Mr. Hinojosa (his injuries were compensable). The insurance carrier appealed the decision to the Appeals Panel of the Workers Comp Division in Austin, Texas, and it reversed and rendered a decision for the insurance company (Mr. Hinojosa's injuries were not compensable). Rendon & Associates filed suit in District Court seeking to reverse the adverse decision; Case was tried to the court and the trial judge rendered judgment for Mr. Hinojosa, reversing the final decision of the Division, finding his injuries were compensable. The Insurance carrier appealed the judgment to the court of Appeals and that court affirmed the trial court judgment for Mr. Hinojosa. The Insurance Carrier filed a petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas, and the court denied the request, thereby affirming the trial court's decision for Mr. Hinojosa. Mr. Hinojosa seeks payment of Temporary Income Benefits for the maximum period of two years and payment of Impairment Benefits, and may be a candidate for Supplemental Income Benefits. Case is open....
