In State ex rel. Holderman v. Industrial Commission of Ohio , the court vacated an appeals court ruling that directed the Ohio Industrial Commission to reconsider whether Patricia N. Holderman was wholly or partly dependent on her father. Darrell W. Holderman was shot and killed June 1, 2022, while working as a security officer. His daughter, who was 39 at the time, said she and her two minor children had lived with him since 2018 and that he paid the mortgage, utilities, her automobile insurance and cellphone expenses. Ms. Holderman had undergone back surgery several weeks before her father’s death and said she was unable to work while recovering. She had previously worked in a school cafeteria and during two summers at an ice cream shop. The commission paid medical and funeral expenses and awarded Ms. Holderman $3,000 as a prospective dependent based on evidence that her father intended to support her during her recovery. It denied her request for weekly benefits as a wholly or partly dependent person, finding that although she was temporarily unable to work after back surgery and her father was supporting her, she was a 39-year-old adult with a work history and was capable of earning income. In reversing the appeals court that found she may be due benefits, the state high court held that Ohio law treats prospective dependency as a separate category. Because the commission awarded prospective-dependency benefits, it was not required to also determine dependency under the statute’s residual provision covering “all other cases.” Related News Relation hires five specialty execs from NFP June 25, 2026 US Supreme Court scales back Roundup cancer lawsuits June 25, 2026 Venezuela quakes cause widespread damage June 25, 2026 U.K. businesses face heatwave liability risk June 25, 2026 Allianz flags heightened geopolitical, operational marine risks June 25, 2026 GIC Re pivots away from overseas cat risk June 25, 2026 Double storm threat looms over Japan June 25, 2026 Gothaer secures $114M flood cat bond June 25, 2026 Apartment complex claims dent Hong Kong underwriting profit June 25, 2026 Facebook-f X-twitter Linkedin-in Business Insurance is a singular, authoritative news and information source for executives focused upon risk management, risk transfer and risk financing.
