Description
Charles Leavitt appeals from the district courts order affirming a hearing examiners denial of workers compensation benefits for Leavitts neck injury. After hearing testimony from several doctors and Leavitt in a contested case hearing, the hearing examiner determined that, while Leavitts shoulder injury was incurred in the performance of his employment, his neck injury was not. We uphold factual determinations of administrative agencies, including the determination that an injury occurred outside the course of employment, if they are supported by substantial evidence. The Divisions doctor and Leavitts own physician, once apprised of Leavitts post-operative activities, opined that Leavitts neck injury was not work-related, but was likely sustained when he fell while pushing his wifes car out of the snow. Substantial evidence supports the hearing examiners decision; therefore, we affirm.
