The Court held that the Workers’ Compensation Board is not required to infer that a claimant’s post‑accident loss of wages is caused by the physical limitations from the workplace injury, and affirmed the Board’s factual finding that the claimant failed to conduct a reasonable job search, reversing the Appellate Division.
