The document is an opinion from the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission regarding a claim by David E. Sims for a work-related injury sustained on February 23, 2004. The Full Commission affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's decision that the injury was idiopathic and not compensable, denying Sims temporary total disability benefits after March 9, 2004 due to insufficient medical documentation. A dissenting opinion argued that the circumstances of Sims' employment contributed to his fall and that he should be entitled to benefits.
