Payton v. Rod Cooke Construction Co.

CARLTON, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Kenneth Payton filed a claim for benefits with the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission (“Commission”) for injuries he claimed he suffered while working for Rod Cooke Construction Company Inc. (“Cooke”). The Commission denied Payton’s request for benefits. On appeal, Payton argues that the Commission’s order is arbitrary and capricious, unsupported by substantial evidence, and contrary to law. After reviewing the record, we find that the Commission’s decision was supported by substantial evidence. Therefore, we affirm the order of the Commission.
