Workers’ comp in shooting case

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s high court reversed an appellate division’s ruling in a lawsuit between wounded employees and the Bronx hospital that employed them. A former worker committed a mass shooting in the building, killing one doctor and himself and wounding five others. An injured employee’s claim for workers’ compensation will proceed because there is a “rebuttable presumption ” that, when an injury occurs at work, it arose from the injured worker’s employment. That presumption applies and was not rebutted in this case.
