TWCA reviews whether employee adequately proved that his injury was work-related

KENNETH STEWART v. WESTFIELD INSURANCE COMPANY (TWCA February16, 2012)



The appellant insurance company asserts on appeal that the employee failed to prove that his spinal infection was causally related to any work-place injury and that he also failed to provide the employer with timely notice of his injury. Based upon our review of the record, we conclude that the expert medical proof establishes causation and that the evidence supports the trial court's finding that the employee gave timely notice of his injury. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
