Court Affirms Award of Benefits on Substantial Evidence Grounds

In Pella Corp. v. Winn, No. 12-0592 (Iowa App. February 13, 2013), the Court of Appeals summarily affirmed the decision of the commissioner and district court concluding that claimant had suffered a compensable shoulder injury.  The court finds that although claimant's story of how the injury occurred might have seemed improbable, it was not so outrageous as to be unbelievable.  Since the conclusion was supported by substantial evidence, the award of benefits was affirmed.
