• recognizing that “making an injury report, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing any available medical records” are part of an employer’s duty to investigate under the Act
• explaining that Section 406.1 of the Act imposes two distinct duties on an employer once it receives notice of a work injury: to promptly investigate the work injury and to issue a Notice of Compensation Payable 13 (NCP), an NTCP, or an NCD within 21 days
