APD 041808

September 2, 2004

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 June 24, 2004. The hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable injury on ________________; that she did not have resulting disability; and that she is not entitled to change treating doctors. The claimant appealed on sufficiency of the evidence grounds and the respondent (carrier) responded, urging affirmance.

DECISION

Affirmed.

We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the compensability, disability, and change of treating doctor 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 supported by the record and 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 and order are affirmed.

The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is ARCH INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is

CT CORPORATION SYSTEM
