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 October 8, 2001. The hearing officer determined that respondent (claimant) sustained a compensable hip and back injury on ___________, that he timely reported the injury; that he had disability from November 22, 2000, through the date of the hearing; and that appellant (carrier) did not waive the right to contest compensability in this case. Carrier appealed the determinations regarding injury, disability, and timely notice on sufficiency grounds. The determination regarding carrier waiver was not appealed. The file does not contain a response from claimant.
DECISION
We affirm.
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).
