- **Commission's Position:** The Workers' Compensation Commission maintained that the evidence presented did not conclusively link Storberg's injuries to his employment. They argued that the claimant failed to meet the burden of proof required for establishing a work-related injury under the applicable workers' compensation laws.
**Decision:**
