DanHolohan

FRANKFORT, Ky.—Wal-Mart Stores Inc. must provide

workers compensation benefits to an employee who also received a

$900,000 civil award from two third parties, the Kentucky Court of

Appeals has ruled.





The Friday decision in Wal-Mart Stores Inc. vs. Donald Greg Wells

stems from carbon monoxide exposure injuries Mr. Wells suffered in 2005

while working in a freezer at a Wal-Mart distribution center.
