Massengale v. Labor Commission (Utah Ct. App., March 26, 2020) (declining to disturb the Labor Commission’s order dismissing as untimely Massengale’s claim for permanent total disability benefits: he was pursuing potentially remedial surgery when the statute of repose expired, and thus could not establish entitlement to total disability benefits)

App., March 26, 2020) (declining to disturb the Commission’s denial of O’Connor’s petition to increase his disability award: the law in effect at the time of O’Connor’s injury—and not the 1988 amendment—governs the amount of compensation to which O’Connor is entitled)
