The claimant suffered a compensable back claim on June 5, 2003. The claimant then suffered an aggravation of his initial injury while working for a different employer on January 23, 2006. The Industrial Commission held that because expert medical testimony could not adequately attribute a certain percentage of the claimant’s disability to each employer, both employers were jointly and severally liable for the benefits owed to the claimant.
