Description
Workers' compensation; presumption that injury arises out of employment. Creates a presumption that a workplace injury results from an accident arising out of employment for purposes of the Workers' Compensation Act if the employee is found dead or to have incurred a brain injury resulting from external mechanical force that impairs the employee's brain function to such an extent that the employee is incapable of recalling the relevant circumstances of the accident. A judicially created presumption currently exists when an employee is found dead as the result of an accident at his place of work and there is no evidence offered to show what caused the death or to show that he was not engaged in his employer's business at the time.
