To establish that a disability is “a direct result of a
traumatic event” for purposes of the accidental disability
retirement statutes, a member must prove that the event is (a)
identifiable as to time and place; (b) undersigned and
unexpected; and (c) caused by a circumstance external to the
member (and not the result of pre-existing disease that is
aggravated or accelerated by the work).
