Syllabus

WORKERS' COMPENSATION – EVIDENCE: The trial court did not err in finding that plaintiff injured worker was entitled to participate in the workers' compensation fund for aggravation of a preexisting condition by a work-related injury where plaintiff presented expert testimony of causation between the workplace injury and the aggravation of the preexisting condition, and that evidence was not clearly rejected by the trial court. [See SEPARATE CONCURRENCE: Plaintiff injured worker's subjective complaints, coupled with the objective testimony of his expert doctor, sufficiently proved that plaintiff had suffered a substantial aggravation of a preexisting condition caused by his workplace injury.]
