Kosobucki v. Commonwealth

Opinion by

Judge MacPhail,

This is an appeal from an order of the Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Board) which reversed the referee and denied Charles Kosobucki (Claimant) benefits. The Board held that in the absence of an obvious causal connection between Claimant’s hernia injury and the incident which occurred in the course of his employment, unequivocal medical testimony was necessary before Claimant could prevail. The Board found that the Claimant’s evidence failed to meet this standard and that the referee erred in finding that it did.
