Employment – workers’ compensation

St. Paul Veterinary Clinic and Society Insurance Company (collectively, “the Clinic”) appeal from an order of the circuit court that affirmed the Labor and Industry Review Commission’s decision affirming an administrative law judge’s conclusion that certain medical expenses of former employee Yvonne Chojnacki arose out of an injury she suffered on the job in November 2004. The Clinic asserts that the only credible evidence in this case came from its expert, who determined that Chojnacki’s ongoing medical problems did not arise out of her workplace injury, and the Commission therefore erred in upholding the ALJ’s decision. In light of our standard of review, we reject the Clinic’s argument and affirm the order. This opinion shall not be published.
