1Opinion of the Court
JUDE G. GRAVOIS, Judge.
| gClaimant, Jasmine Ricks, appeals the dismissal of her workers’ compensation claim. The trial judge found that Ms. Ricks failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that she suffered a work-related accident.1 On appeal, Ms. Ricks essentially argues two issues: first, that the trial court should have appointed counsel on her behalf; and second, that the trial court erred in finding that she failed to prove her case.2 For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment of the Office of Workers’ Compensation.
