04-23-09 GERALDINE SINGLETARY V. WAWA
A-5723-07T2
This opinion affirms the decision of the judge of
compensation that the subsequent work duties of the petitioner
were the cause of her most recent disability and need for
surgery, not the natural progression of an earlier work-related
slip and fall accident. It distinguishes Peterson v. Hermann
Forwarding Co., 267 N.J. Super. 493 (App. Div. 1993), which held
that a subsequent employer is not liable for disability or
medical treatment arising from an injury that occurred during
earlier employment.
