Board Rule 204. Subsequent Non-Work Related Injury; Chain of Causation; Burden of Proof

Posted on June 21, 2008 by Seth Bader

The employer/insurer shall not suspend weekly benefits on the ground that a subsequent nonwork- related injury has broken the chain of causation between the compensable injury and the employee's disability except by the order of the Board.

The burden of proving that the chain of causation has been broken shall be upon the employer/insurer.
