Crosby v. Wal-Mart Store, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing injuries are excluded from compensability under the Act when they come \from a hazard to which the workmen would have been equally exposed apart from the employment\
• finding claimant failed to present any evidence as to what caused her to fall and concluding it would be wholly conjectural to conclude her employment was a contributing cause of her injury
• finding when substantial evidence supports the conclusion that the cause of a fall is an internal breakdown of the knee, it is appropriate to deny workers' compensation benefits because of the lack of a causal connection between the injury and employment
• “The burden is on the claimant to prove such facts as will render the injury compensable, and such an award must not be based on surmise, conjecture or speculation.”
