1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Rice
T1 We granted certiorari to consider whether an "unexplained" fall-fLe., a fall with a truly unknown cause or mechanism-satisfies the "arising out of" employment requirement of Colorado's Workers' Compensation Act, section 8-41-801(l)(c, C.R.S. (2013), and is thus compensable as a work-related injury. We also granted certiorari to decide whether an employer fails to meet its burden to modify an admission of lability under section 8-48-201(1), C.R.S. (20183), when it fails to prove that an employee's injuries did not "arise out of" employment.1
