Clement finds that a preexisting condition is not a bar to the receipt of workers’ compensation benefits in this suit brought by the nursing facility employee who fell off a ladder after being electrocuted while wiping off a light fixture with a damp rag. She returned to work after the hospital found no injury and her family doctor later diagnosed her with a concussion. Her condition has degenerated, resulting in seizures, mental health issues and an inability to work. She has admitted to repeated physical and emotional abuse by her first husband, and to being disowned by her mother, church community and friends who were unsupportive of the divorce. She also lost custody of her children. There is no evidence in the record that she had experienced seizures or took any time off work between her divorce and the workplace fall as a result of these past experiences. Cited legal tests conflict with the principle that a preexisting condition is not a bar to eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits. The magistrate’s findings are vacated. The Court of Appeals’ judgment is reversed and remanded.
