The Commission had affirmed the ALJ's denial, finding the employers' expert more persuasive and setting the date of injury. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the Commission applied incorrect legal standards for medical causation and date of injury, and that its findings were not supported by sufficient competent evidence. The court also modified the date of injury to June 26, 2014.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","appellate-procedure","evidence","administrative-law","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=166357","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/joan-moore-hayden-surviving-spouse-of-marc-hayden-deceased-appellant-v-cu-108695","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation","text: labor and industrial relations commission","text: workers' compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
