Supreme Court of Arkansas

Matthew L. Edmisten, Appellee v. Bull Shoals Landing and Aig Domestic Claims, Inc., Appellees — Baker, J., Dissenting

February 27, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 147

Summary

The dissent argues that the Workers’ Compensation Commission correctly found that Edmisten failed to rebut the statutory presumption that his accident was substantially occasioned by marijuana use. It contends that the majority disregarded the applicable substantial-evidence standard by reweighing conflicting testimony and improperly requiring direct evidence of intoxication at the time of the accident.
