Description
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (Petitioner) petitions this Court for review of the order of the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (Board) that affirmed in part and reversed in part the decision of the Workers Compensation Judge (WCJ) granting Petitioners termination petition. Petitioner presents three questions to the Court: whether the Board erred in finding that the claimant Gerald OHara (OHara) had fully recovered from physical injuries but also suffered continuing psychiatric disability based upon the physical injury; whether the Board erred in placing the burden on Petitioner to show a lack of causal connection between OHaras physical and psychiatric injuries; and whether the Board erred by substituting its credibility determinations in place of those made by the WCJ.
