I will briefly summarize the major court decisions. If you would like to view the entire case I will include links for those that I have. Some of the older Supreme Court cases can only be obtained from Lexus Nexus or similar company. I will break up the decisions into Supreme Court Decisions, Appellate Level Decisions, and OAL Decisions.
Key to Cases (to save myself time typing):
(AG) means they were awarded Accidental Disability by the courts and granted by the
PRFS Board.
(AN) means they were awarded Accidental Disability by the courts but not granted by PFRS.
(D) denied Accidental Disability by the courts/ PFRS never reverses this decision.
Prior to 1964, Accidental Disability benefits were provided to an employee who was disabled for physical injuries arising out of an "accident." The legislature then ammended the statute by replacing the word "accident" with the words "traumatic event." The case law provided here especially that from the Supreme Court attempts to clarify traumatic event.
