Just Work Comp Law by Davis & Sanchez

02/20/2026

“You’ll shoot your eye out.”

If you’ve seen A Christmas Story, you remember the line.
Funny in the movie . . .

Not funny at work.

This month, we share the real story of a young worker who lost an eye on the job. His workers’ comp claim was denied because the insurance company called it “horseplay.”

But the law isn’t that simple.

🇺🇸 In this video, we explain when “horseplay” does — and does NOT — automatically disqualify someone from coverage.

“You’ll shoot your eye out.”

If you’ve seen A Christmas Story, you remember the line.
It’s funny in the movie . . .

But it’s not funny when something like that actually happens at work.

In this month’s newsletter, we share the real story of a young worker who suffered a serious eye injury on the job. His workers’ compensation claim was denied after the insurance adjuster said it was caused by “horseplay.”

But the law isn’t that simple.

Welcome to Our Workers Comp Newsletter

This month’s issue highlights a surprising case: a Utah woman injured while playing on her employer’s sponsored soccer team. After her concussion and long-term symptoms, her workers comp claim was denied — until our firm stepped in and won on her behalf.

Too many Utah workers don’t realize how much confusion there is around Work Comp. Misunderstandings like “my employer didn’t do it on purpose,” “it wasn’t on-site,” or “this wasn’t a ‘real’ injury” keep people from getting the benefits they’re legally entitled to receive.

Our January issue breaks down the biggest misconceptions about coverage, clarifies what workers comp actually pays for, and introduces a simple 4-step protocol called C.O.M.P. to follow after a work injury.

We also spotlight Jacob Hill, our Operations Manager, who reminds us what hard work really looks like — from paper routes and tractors to supply chain and logistics. Utah was built by workers who don’t ask for a spotlight… but deserve one.

📞 If you’re dealing with a workplace injury or denied claim, call (801) 849-3999 for a free case review. We’ll answer your questions — and we’ll even tell you if you don’t need an attorney.
