City of Englewood v. Harrell

Summary

The court set aside the Industrial Claim Appeals Office Panel’s order and remanded for reconsideration of the firefighter’s melanoma claim under the statutory interpretation adopted in two companion decisions issued the same day. That interpretation permits an employer to rebut the compensability presumption with medical evidence showing either that firefighting exposures cannot cause the type of cancer or that the claimant’s employment probably did not cause the particular cancer, without proving a specific alternative cause.
