Change In Condition And New Accident: The Difference Between The Two, Elements Of Each, And Burdens Of Proof, Michael F. Antonowich

This Article is designed as a survey of the law on the theories of new accident and change in condition.

These burdens are addressed both as to accidents occurring before and after July 1, 1992. Also addressed are the circumstances and attendant outcomes when more than one employer or insurance company …

Workers' Compensation, H. Michael Bagley, Daniel C. Kniffen, John G. Blackmon Jr.

Mercer Law Review

After the difficult debate surrounding workers' compensation legislation in 1992, few would have thought it possible that the Georgia Legislature would revisit the Workers' Compensation Act (the "Act")' any time soon. Yet, the 1994 General Assembly made a number of substantial changes to the Act, constituting by far the most significant development in workers' compensation law over the survey period. Important case law decisions affected the areas of exclusive remedy, the employment relationship, and heart attack claims.

Partially Disabled And Religious: Virginia Workers' Compensation And The Free Exercise Clause, Brydon Dewitt Jan 1994

Partially Disabled And Religious: Virginia Workers' Compensation And The Free Exercise Clause, Brydon Dewitt

University of Richmond Law Review

The Virginia Workers' Compensation Act denies wage loss benefits to partially disabled employees who unjustifiably reject employment procured by their employer which is within their remaining work capacity.

Essentially, unjustified refusal of selective employment within the employee's work capacity results in a suspension in wage loss benefits until the …
