56 Or.App. 184

In the matter of the Compensation of William Valtinson, Claimant. William Valtinson, Petitioner, v. STATE ACCIDENT INSURANCE FUND CORPORATION, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

Decided March 8, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Peter W. McSwain, Salem, argued the cause for petitioner. On the brief were Lyle C. Velure, and Malagon, Velure & Yates, Eugene.

Darrell E. Bewley, Appellate Counsel, State Acc. Ins. Fund Corp., Salem, argued the cause and filed the brief for respondent.

Before JOSEPH, C.J., and RICHARDSON and WARREN, JJ.


RICHARDSON, Judge.

Claimant appeals an order of the Workers' Compensation Board reversing the referee's order that the State Accident Insurance Fund accept his low back injury claim. The sole issue in this case is whether claimant suffered a compensable on-the-job injury or merely has non-compensable symptoms of an occupational disease. On de novo review, ORS 656.298(6), we find claimant sustained a compensable injury and reverse the Board's order.
