Summary
Workers' compensation; injuries presumed to be in course of employment. Establishes presumptions in claims under the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act that the accident arose out of and in the course of employment if the employee (i) dies with there being no evidence that he ever regained consciousness after the accident, (ii) dies at the accident location or nearby, or (iii) is found dead where he is reasonably expected to be as an employee. These presumptions will exist in the absence of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary and where the factual circumstances are of sufficient strength from which the only rational inference to be drawn is that the accident arose out of and in the course of employment.
Title
Workers' compensation; injuries or deaths presumed to be in course of employment.
