Nat'l Transit Staffing, Inc. v. Norris

The issue here is whether methamphetamine was present in Mark Norris's body when he was injured at work so that his employer and its insurance carrier are entitled to receive a rebuttable presumption that the workplace injury was substantially occasioned by the drug. The Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission (Commission) answered no, and Norris's employer and its insurance carrier appeal that decision. We hold that substantial evidence supports the Commission's decision. We also affirm the Commission's award of temporary total-disability (TTD) benefits.
