Description
This Court granted review in order to decide whether an employer seeking to terminate a claimant's workers' compensation benefits must disprove a causal relationship between the work-related injury and a subsequently alleged psychiatric injury where the employer accepted liability in the Notice of Compensation Payable only for the physical injuries suffered from the work-related accident. We find that in these circumstances, the employee, not the employer, shoulders the burden of establishing a causal relationship between the work-related injury and a subsequently alleged psychiatric injury. Accordingly, we reverse the Order of the Commonwealth Court.
