Description
Workers' compensation; injuries presumed to be in course of employment. Revises the provision enacted in 2011 that created a presumption, in the absence of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary, that an injury is work related if an employee is physically or mentally unable to testify and there is unrebutted prima facie evidence that the injury was work related. This measure clarifies that the presumption applies when the employee's inability to testify pertains to testimony about the circumstances of the accident. Amends § 65.2-105, of the Code of Virginia.
