Oral Argument
10/14/2008
Highlight
A claimant seeking workforce safety and insurance benefits has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the claimant has suffered a compensable injury and is entitled to benefits.
A compensable injury must be established by medical evidence supported by objective medical findings.
It is not a compensable injury when the claimant's employment merely acts to trigger symptoms in a preexisting injury, disease, or other condition unless a claimant's employment substantially accelerates the progression of, or substantially worsens the severity of, the preexisting injury, disease, or other condition.
