No, I have never done workers comp.
I understand one of your points ... you are correct that he did not have to prove you negligent. Only that the injuries are "work-related."
That's the trade-off in workers comp statutes: Negligence is not required, but awards are substantially lower. Its a balance of interests between worker and employer.
But he DOES have to prove his injuries were "work-related." You have no burden to prove or disprove anything. It's all on him. If he makes his case, he wins, if he does not, he loses.
The insurance company apparently thought he would win if it went to trial.
