The opinion

HUTCHINSON, Justice,

dissenting opinion.

Although the majority correctly articulates the standard for causation, I am constrained to dissent from its mandate remanding the case. I do so because I do not believe the claimant produced sufficient evidence on this record to meet that standard. I would, therefore, simply reverse.
