New Hampshire Supply Co. v. Steinberggreen2 sentences1981When this case was first before us, we set out the legal causation test to be used to ascertain whether a claimant has proven “that the work-related stresses were a legal causal factor in the heart attack which ensued.” Id. 1981The myocardial infarction suffered by the plaintiff on May 16, 1977 did not cause or contribute to the bypass operation in September, 1977.” The plaintiff asserts that the only issue before us is the applicability to the facts at bar of the legal causation test enunciated in New Hampshire Supply Co. v. Steinberg, 119 N.H. 223 , 400 A.2d 1163 (1979). | 1 | 4 |
