This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing (CCH) was held on January 29, 2002. The hearing officer resolved the disputed issues by deciding that the appellant’s (claimant) compensable injury of ____________, does not extend to and include an injury to the right shoulder, right elbow, right hand, left hip, and left knee, and that the claimant has had disability from August 9, 2001, through the date of the CCH. The claimant appealed the determination on the issue of the extent of the compensable injury. The respondent (carrier) responded, requesting affirmance. There is no appeal of the determination on the disability issue.
DECISION
The hearing officer’s decision is affirmed.
It is undisputed that the claimant sustained a compensable injury on ____________, when she fell while washing a truck. The disputed issue, on which the claimant had the burden of proof, involved the extent of the claimant’s compensable injury. Conflicting evidence was presented at the CCH. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). As the finder of fact, the hearing officer resolves the conflicts in the evidence and determines what facts have been established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s decision is supported by sufficient evidence and that it is not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong and unjust.
