Description
Appellant, Crete Carrier Corporation, appeals from the decision of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission (Commission) awarding temporary workers' compensation benefits to respondent, David Stufflebean. Stufflebean was employed by Crete Carrier Corporation as an over-the-road truck driver. On May 17, 1991, he sustained a back injury while loading a flat trailer tire onto a holder in order to return it to his employer. This injury occurred in Norfolk, Nebraska. It is undisputed that the injury arose out of and in the course of Stufflebean's employment with Crete. After the accident, Stufflebean notified Crete of the accident and timely filed a claim with the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation. 1 In March 1994, the administrative law Judge dismissed the claim on the basis that the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation did not have jurisdiction. Stufflebean subsequently filed a petition for review with the Commission. The Commission concluded that Missouri had jurisdiction based upon a finding that Stufflebean's employment contract had been entered into in Missouri and because his employment was principally localized in Missouri. The Commission reversed the ALJ's dismissal order and issued a temporary award for compensation. On appeal, Crete contends that the Commission erred in finding that the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation had jurisdiction over Stufflebean's claim.
