Samuel Paulino v. Diversified Coatings, Inc.

Syllabus

The workers' compensation commission awarded Samuel Paulino total and permanent disability benefits because it found he sustained a fifty percent or greater loss of use to his back. The court of appeals reversed the commission's award \because there is no medical evidence in the record that supported the [commission's] findings.\ In making this ruling, the court of appeals misapplied the \substantial evidence\ standard for reviewing decisions of the commission. We reverse the court of appeals and reinstate the commission's award.
