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 September 27, 2001. The hearing officer resolved the disputed issues by concluding that (1) the claimed injury did not occur while the respondent (claimant) was in a state of intoxication; (2) the appellant (carrier) is liable for the payment of accrued benefits pursuant to Tex. W.C. Comm’n, 28 TEX. ADMIN. CODE § 124.3 (Rule 124.3); and (3) claimant had disability beginning on May 11, 2001, and continuing through the date of the hearing. Carrier appealed, asserting that the determinations of the hearing officer should be reversed and that the evidence presented at the hearing showed that claimant did not have normal use of his mental and physical faculties at the time of the accident. Claimant responded, contending that the determinations of the hearing officer are consistent with the evidence presented at the hearing.
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. The hearing officer reviewed the drug screen report and the other evidence and determined that the claimed injury did not occur while claimant was in a state of intoxication. See Section 406.032(1)(A). 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).
Carrier appeals the determinations regarding disability and liability for accrued benefits by stating the numbers of certain fact findings it appeals. However, carrier did not elaborate regarding why these determinations are appealed. To the extent that carrier is appealing liability in general on the ground that it should be relieved of liability due to claimant’s intoxication, we have already addressed this contention.
Finding no reversible error raised on appeal, we affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is LIBERTY MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
