Wyoming Supreme Court

Decided February 28, 2001No. 00-133PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GOLDEN, Justice.

[¶1] Appellant David Rice was denied worker's compensation benefits for a claim of injury resulting from chemical exposure, and he appeals. Following a hearing, the hearing examiner found that Rice neither timely filed an injury report nor proved by a preponderance of the evidence all elements of his claim. We hold that the finding that his injury . report was not timely filed is clearly contrary to the weight of the evidence, but uphold the conclusion that Rice did not prove his injury by a preponderance of the evidence and affirm the order denying benefits.
