The Commissioner will probably rule that Brill’s injury is not eligible for workers compensation under the personal comfort doctrine. When a worker is injured on the job, they can request compensation from the employer.

He has to show preponderance of the evidence if he can not show proof then he will be retained for prosecution in Criminal Court. They found Ronald Adams in his apartment in fetal position with blood all over him and his…
