Snawder v. Stice

PARK, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment of the Barren Circuit Court affirming a decision of the Workmen’s Compensation Board which found that the employee-appellant, Snawder, had suffered no permanent occupational disability as a result of the work-related injury which was the subject of his claim. Two issues are raised by the appeal. First, did Snawder’s failure to file a petition for reconsideration under KRS 342.281 limit the scope of judicial review? Second, was the board’s decision to deny Snawder’s claim for permanent disability benefits clearly erroneous? We affirm.
