Sargent County Bank v. John Wentworth And

In this workers compensation case, Julie Lagemann appeals the review panels decision, which followed the Nebraska Court of Appeals mandate from her earlier appeal. the Court of Appeals had affirmed the original award of benefits. on remand, the review panel affirmed the trial judges order that denied her waiting-time penalties, interest, and attorney fees under Neb. rev. Stat. § 48-125 (reissue 2004). the issue is whether under a 1999 amendment to § 48-125, if an employee appeals the review panels decision, the employer is liable for waiting-time penalties pending an appeal for any portion of the benefits award that the employer does not cross-appeal.
