What is the test for determining whether an injury arising out of employment is a contributory factor in determining whether a claim can be made under section 3600 of the California Labor Code?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cooper v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd., 173 Cal.App.3d 44, 218 Cal.Rptr. 783 (Cal. App. 1985):
It is well settled that to be compensable under Labor Code section 3600, an injury must both "arise out of and be in the course of employment." (State Compensation Ins. Fund v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 643, 652, 184 Cal.Rptr. 111, original emphasis.) Generally, the phrase, "arise out of employment," refers to a causal connection between the employment and the injury. (Ibid. )
