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 April 22, 2002. The hearing officer determined that (1) appellant/cross-respondent (claimant) did not sustain a compensable injury; (2) the date of injury was ______________; (3) claimant timely reported the injury; and (4) claimant did not have disability. Another issue regarding accrued benefits was withdrawn by agreement. Claimant appealed the determinations regarding injury and disability on sufficiency grounds. Respondent/cross-appellant (carrier) responded that the hearing officer did not err in making these determinations. In its conditional cross-appeal, carrier contends the hearing officer erred in determining that the date of injury is ______________, and that claimant timely reported her injury. The file does not contain a response from claimant.
DECISION
We affirm.
We have reviewed the complained-of determinations in the appeal and cross-appeal 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). There is nothing in the record to indicate that the hearing officer failed to consider the evidence.
We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
According to information provided by carrier, the true corporate name of the insurance carrier is AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY
