The case of Cassens Transport Co. v. The Workers' Compensation Commission involves a dispute between Cassens Transport Company, an employer, and the Workers' Compensation Commission regarding a workers' compensation claim filed by an employee. The employee sought benefits for injuries sustained during the course of employment, contending that these injuries were work-related.
**Facts:**
- The employee reported sustaining injuries while performing duties at Cassens Transport Co.
- Following the injury, the employee filed a claim for workers' compensation benefits.

The Commission ultimately ruled in favor of the employee, determining that the injuries were compensable under the state's workers' compensation laws.

The court emphasized that the Commission's findings were consistent with the statutory requirements for workers' compensation claims.
**Conclusion:**
The court affirmed the Workers' Compensation Commission's ruling, leading to the continuation of benefits awarded to the employee. This case reinforces the standards for determining compensability in workers’ compensation claims, particularly the necessary connection between employment duties and the injuries sustained.
