The main issue in this appeal was whether a teacher was an essential employee who was entitled to a rebuttable presumption that getting COVID-19 was work-related and compensable under workers’ compensation.

On April 20, 2020, the plaintiff was assisting in unloading steel from a “flatrack” trailer when he fell and suffered a head injury, despite wearing a helmet.

The claimant worked as a food equipment delivery person and was injured in a motor vehicle accident while on his way home from Maryland. At the time of the injury, the employer was insured by both Berkshire and SWIF.

This case involves a claimant who worked as a police officer for the employer for 14 years and was involved in a life and death struggle with a suspect, who had allegedly beaten his girlfriend and fled from police.
