Stewart A. Richardson v. Board of Trustees, Police & Firemen’s Retirement System

7-24-07 (A-100-05)

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).
