This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing was held on May 17, 2001. With regard to the issues before her, the hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) had not sustained a compensable injury on __________; that because the claimant did not have a compensable injury, the claimant did not have disability; and that the respondent (carrier) is relieved of liability because the claimant failed to timely notify her employer and failed to show good cause for failing to do so.
The claimant appealed “each and every finding of fact and conclusion of law decide…..gainst [her].” The carrier responds, urging affirmance.
DECISION
Affirmed.
We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).
The hearing officer’s decision and order are affirmed.
