Employment – workers’ compensation — scope of employment

Milwaukee Transport Services, Inc., appeals the circuit court’s order affirming an order entered by the Labor and Industry Review Commission determining that Isaac Bracey, a Milwaukee Transport bus driver, is entitled to worker’s compensation benefits. Milwaukee Transport argues that the Commission erred because it contends that Bracey substantially deviated from the course and scope of his employment when he was injured. Milwaukee Transport also contended for the first time in its appeal to the circuit court that Bracey’s injuries were “idiopathic” and, for that additional reason, did not arise out of his employment. We affirm. Publication in the official reports is not recommended.
