02-2426 Eckelberg v. Scientific Molding, et al.

Listen to this article

Joshua Eckelberg appeals a judgment affirming a decision of the Labor and Industry Review Commission that denied him worker’s compensation. Eckelberg fell at work after walking through a doorway where plastic drapes hung from the ceiling. Based on statements Eckelberg initially gave his treating physicians and his supervisors’ testimony regarding where they found him laying on the floor, the commission found that Eckelberg’s injuries arose from an unknown cause, and therefore termed them idiopathic. Eckelberg argues that his employer failed to establish idiopathic injury because it presented no evidence that he was predisposed to injury and that the evidence does not support the commission’s findings.

We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment.

This opinion will not be published.
