Harvey J. Amos, an employee, sought temporary disability benefits for a new neck injury in 2015, distinct from a 2010 work injury. The employer, Goodman Global Group, contended that the new symptoms were merely a continuation of the prior injury and that they had not received notice of a new compensable event. The Court found that Mr. Amos failed to present sufficient evidence of a specific work incident causing the 2015 injury. Furthermore, medical proof did not establish that his employment was the primary cause of the injury. Consequently, the Court denied Mr. Amos's request for temporary disability benefits, as he was not likely to prevail at a hearing on the merits.
