ACCIDENT/MEDICAL CAUSATION - WHAT CONSTITUTES?

Section 287.020 2. RSMo. provides, in part:

                                                                                                               

“2.***An injury is compensable if it is clearly work related.  An injury is clearly work related if work was “a substantial factor” in the cause of the resulting medical condition or disability.  An injury is not compensable merely because work was “a triggering or precipitating factor”. (Emphasis added)
