• noting a \reluctance of Alabama appellate courts to accept but-for reasoning as a test of causation in [workers'] compensation actions\
• noting that, in affirming an award based on a finding of causation despite the trial court’s implicit finding that “the claimant had not met her burden of establishing causation,” the appellate court would effectively “abrogate by judicial fiat an essential element of proof under [the] Act”
