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 5, 2001. The hearing officer determined that the respondent (claimant) sustained damage or harm to the physical structure of his body, specifically his right upper extremity, while performing repetitive duties during the course and scope of his employment. The appellant’s (self-insured) appeal asserts that the evidence does not support the decision and the claimant’s response asserts it does.
DECISION
Affirmed.
There was evidence that supports the hearing officer’s decision. That evidence included the claimant’s testimony and medical reports indicating injurious conditions in the claimant’s right upper extremity with a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. 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 is affirmed.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is (SELF-INSURED) and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
