Edmisten v. Bull Shoals Landing

Summary

The court reversed the Commission’s denial of benefits and remanded for a determination of benefits, holding that the Commission’s finding that Edmisten failed to rebut the statutory drug-use presumption was not supported by substantial evidence. Although a positive marijuana test triggered a rebuttable presumption, the Commission improperly relied on speculation about impairment, arbitrarily discounted supporting testimony, and failed to establish a direct causal link between marijuana use and the accident.
