QUALLS v. STONE CONTAINER CORP.

No. 29794-WCA.

699 So.2d 1137 (1997)

Gary J. QUALLS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. STONE CONTAINER CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellant.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

Rehearing Denied October 23, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gary D. Nunn, Jonesboro, for Defendant-Appellant.

Brittain & Sylvester by Russell L. Sylvester, Natchitoches, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before NORRIS, WILLIAMS and CARAWAY, JJ.

CARAWAY, Judge.

Defendant, Stone Container Corporation, appeals the worker's compensation hearing officer's decision that awarded benefits, penalties, and attorney's fees to its former forklift driver, Gary Qualls. Because Mr. Qualls failed to prove that a May 6, 1993 workrelated incident was an "accident" causing "injuries" as those terms are construed under the Worker's Compensation Act, we reverse the award and render judgment for Stone Container.
