Brenda Joyce Holley, Employee v. Acts, Inc., Employer, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Carrier.

Summary

The Court held that the evidence did not establish, with the required degree of medical certainty, that the employee’s workplace leg injury caused her deep vein thrombosis. Both physicians acknowledged that the causal connection was only possible and could not be stated to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, while the employee’s medical history presented other potential causes. The Court reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent with the proper causation standard.
