TWCA Reviews Whether Employee Met the Burden of Proof in Proving that He had Compensable Injuries

OTIS PATRICK v. SAFELITE GLASS CORPORATION, ET AL. (TWCA August 17, 2010)

The employee alleged that he had sustained a compensable injury to his back. His employer denied the claim due to discrepancies between his account of the event that caused the injury and certain medical records. The trial court found that the employee had failed to sustain his burden of proof, and dismissed the complaint. The employee appealed, contending that the evidence preponderates against that finding. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
