Crest Products v. Louise

17 FLW D289

A workers' compensation claimant must prove the existence of a causal connection between the employment and injury for which benefits are sought and the existence of causation must be based upon reasonable medical probability. Doctor in this case testified that he did not know what caused claimant's problems to her neck. Court determined that it was error for judge to award benefits to claimant without medical testimony supporting the causal connection between the neck pain and the claimant's employment. Lay testimony is legally insufficient to support a finding of causation where the medical condition involved is not readily observable.
