Lloyd Frank Logging v. Healy

HOOVER, EJ.

¶ 1. Lloyd Frank Logging and its insurance carrier, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (collectively, Lloyd Frank), appeal an order of the circuit court affirming a decision by the Labor and Industry Review Commission. The Commission concluded that Charles Healy was an employee of Lloyd Frank's because he did not fulfill the statutory definition of an employer. Lloyd Frank argues that Healy was an employer primarily because he purchased a worker's com pensation insurance policy. We reject Lloyd Frank’s argument as contrary to the statutes and, accordingly, affirm the order.
