I do not know the simple answer to your question, but I do know that these types of issues come up quite often in the field of worker's compensation law. I do have a friend who is an expert in this field and I am sure that he can anwer your question for you. He is not a member of lawguru, but if you contact me I will be happy to give you his contact information.
