PETERS, J.

In this workers' compensation case, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Wal-Mart) opposed the payment of benefits to its former employee, Norrene McCall, on the basis that she did not sustain an accident within the meaning of La.R.S. 23:1021(1). From an adverse judgment awarding indemnity and medical benefits as well as penalties and attorney fees, Wal-Mart now appeals. For the following reasons, we reverse in part and affirm in part.
