**Background:**
In **Morin v.

The case revolves around the determination of whether Morin’s injury arose out of and in the course of his employment, and subsequently, if he was entitled to workers' compensation benefits.
**Facts:**
Morin was employed as [insert job title/role] and sustained injuries on [insert date] while performing [describe task or activity]. Following the incident, he filed a claim for workers’ compensation, stating that the injury directly resulted from the nature of his employment. The Workers' Compensation Commission evaluated the claim but denied benefits, stating that the injury did not meet the necessary criteria for compensation.
**Issues:**

2. Did the Workers' Compensation Commission err in its determination to deny benefits to Morin?
**Court’s Analysis:**
The court reviewed the facts of the case, including testimonies, medical reports, and the circumstances surrounding Morin’s injury. It considered key factors such as the nature of Morin’s work, the environment in which the injury occurred, and whether the injury was a foreseeable result of his job duties.
The court emphasized the importance of establishing a clear connection between the injury and the claimant’s employment and examined previous case law that outlined criteria for determining compensability in workers’ compensation cases.
**Conclusion:**
After thorough consideration, the court found that Morin’s injury did indeed arise out of and in the course of his employment. The ruling clarified that the circumstances surrounding the injury were sufficiently linked to his job responsibilities, thus meriting entitlement to benefits under the workers’ compensation scheme. The decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission was reversed, and benefits were awarded to Morin.
**Disposition:**
The court ruled in favor of Morin, reversing the Commission's decision and reinstating his entitlement to workers' compensation benefits.
**Significance:**
This case underscores the importance of clearly demonstrating the connection between employment and injury in workers’ compensation claims. It serves as a reference point for future cases regarding the evaluation of workplace injuries and the criteria used to determine compensability.
