Workers' Compensation - Suspension Status to Reinstatement of Disability Benefits - Claimant's Burden of Proof

Authors

Eric L. Bradley

Abstract

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that a claimant need not supply expert medical evidence to establish that a work-related injury continues; instead, once a claimant testifies that a work-related injury continues, the burden of proof shifts to the employer to prove the contrary.
