Sam Bird, Judge.

This workers’ compensation case involves dge. § 11-9-402 (Repl. 2002), which assigns liability to a prime contractor for the compensation of a subcontractor’s injured employee when the subcontractor has not secured compensation as required by statute. Appellant Musson Custom Building, Inc., raises one point on appeal, challenging the finding of the Workers’ Compensation Commission that Musson was the prime contractor liable for compensation to appellee Gilmar Valladares. We affirm the decision of the Commission.
