Hasselbring argued the Commission erred in finding that a work-related accident was not the prevailing factor in his disability, but rather a pre-existing popliteal aneurysm. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's award, concluding that its findings were supported by competent and substantial evidence and that it did not exceed its powers by applying the prevailing factor test or adopting an expert's opinion.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","evidence","standard-of-review","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=219177","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/thomas-hasselbring-v-macon-county-nursing-home-district-and-treasurer-of-d87279","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
