Bass; Carter Craig, on brief), for appellant. (Janine M. Jacob; James A. L. Daniel; Daniel, Vaughan, Medley & Smitherman, P.C., on brief), for appellees. Frederick Douglas Wilson (claimant) appeals a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission denying his Claim for Benefits. Claimant contends the commission erred in (1) reversing the deputy commissioner s finding as to claimant s credibility, the occurrence of an injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment on November 7, 2003, and the existence of a causal connection between claimant s injury and his medical treatment and disability; and (2) refusing to admit into the record certain disability slips tendered on behalf of claimant post-hearing.
