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 November 13, 2001. The (Hearing officer) determined that the compensable injury, which the appellant (claimant) sustained on __________, does not extend to and include lumbar disc herniations at L4-5 and L5-S1. On appeal, the claimant expresses disagreement with this determination. The respondent (carrier) urges affirmance.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The claimant appeals the hearing officer’s extent-of-injury determination. Extent of injury is a question of fact for the hearing officer to resolve. Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 93613, decided August 24, 1993. We have reviewed the complained-of determination and conclude that it is 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 decision and order of the hearing officer are affirmed.
The true corporate name of the carrier is LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
C. T. CORPORATION SYSTEM
