The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission affirmed the administrative law judge's award of workers' compensation benefits to Janet K. Carter for a thoracic spine injury sustained on January 20, 2002, when she slipped and fell at work. The claimant was awarded 20 weeks of permanent partial disability compensation totaling $6,588.40, representing 5% permanent disability of the body as a whole.

The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's award denying workers' compensation benefits to Anthony Darris, a security officer who claimed injury to both feet from walking and standing during work. The Commission found that the alleged injury did not arise out of and in the course of employment and therefore was not compensable under Missouri Workers' Compensation Law.

The Commission reviewed the administrative law judge's June 14, 2010 award and affirmed it except for a modification to question 3 on page 1, changing the answer from "yes" to "no." The final award denies workers' compensation benefits based on competent and substantial evidence in accordance with Missouri Workers' Compensation Law.
