Inability to rule out personal reason for fall spells trouble for claim

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 Workers' Compensation

The Indiana Court of Appeals held that a custodial worker did not meet her burden of proving that a fall at work arose out of her employment. In addition, she failed to establish that an amendment to the Workers’ Compensation Act, which required her to prove that her injury was not the result of a personal health condition, was unconstitutional.
