APD 042376

November 8, 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 (CCH) was held on August 27, 2004. The hearing officer decided that the respondent’s (claimant) compensable injury of __________, includes the diagnosed condition of right forearm pronator syndrome and that the claimant had disability from January 9, 2004, through the date of the CCH. The appellant (carrier) appealed, arguing that the hearing officer’s determinations are against the great weight of the evidence. The appeal file does not contain a response from the claimant.

DECISION

Affirmed.

We have reviewed the complained-of extent-of-injury and disability 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. 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 decision and order of the hearing officer are affirmed.

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