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 August 12, 2002. The hearing officer determined that the compensable injury sustained by the appellant (claimant) on _____________, does not include a disc herniation at L4-5 or C4-5. On appeal, the claimant expresses disagreement with this determination. The respondent (carrier) urges affirmance.
DECISION
We affirm.
We have reviewed the complained-of determination and conclude that the determination regarding extent of injury involved a fact question for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determination is supported by the evidence and 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).
We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is VALLEY FORGE INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
