Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Firefighter filed for workers' compensation benefits, alleging injuries from shoveling snow in fire department parking lot. Commission's determination that heart attack did not arise out of his employment was not against manifest weight of evidence. Employer rebutted presumption by showing claimant's smoking history. Testimony of physician was about medical research generally supporting correlation between firefighter's occupational exposure and development of coronary artery disease, but was not making correlation specifically as to claimant. (HOFFMAN, HUDSON, and MOORE, concurring; HOLDRIDGE, dissenting.)
