Opinion

C.A. No. 99A-01-003-JEB.

Submitted: August 30, 1999.

Timothy A. Casey, Esquire of Wilmington, Delaware. Attorney for Employer-Appellee.


OPINION AND ORDER


The Appellant Larry Whitman was injured on November 18, 1997 when he slipped and fell while at work with appellee Chrysler Corporation. He was treated that same day in Chrysler's medical facility and was released to return to work. He continued to work thereafter, receiving treatment from employer, until March of 1998 when he left work claiming to be incapacitated as a result of the injury. He petitioned the Industrial Accident Board for total disability benefits and after the hearing the Board concluded that he had failed to prove that the accident of November 18, 1997 caused him to become totally disabled.

Whitman has appealed that decision asserting that the Boar erred in its conclusions as to facts. The Court has reviewed the transcript of the hearing and finds that the conclusion of the Board is supported by substantial evidence and is the product of an orderly and logical deductive process. As a consequence the decision of the Industrial Accident Board is hereby

Affirmed .

IT IS SO ORDERED .
