Sonji D. Faulkner v. Chugach Development Corporation and Zurich American Insurance Company

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Bumgardner, Kelsey and Senior Judge Hodges
SONJI D. FAULKNER
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 2586-04-4 	PER CURIAM
MARCH 1, 2005
CHUGACH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND
ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(Andrew S. Kasmer; Kira A. Ligato; Chasen & Boscolo, Chartered,
on brief), for appellant.
(Iris W. Redmond; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for
appellees.
Sonji Faulkner appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding
that she failed to prove that her bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome constituted either a compensable
injury by accident or a compensable ordinary disease of life. We have reviewed the record and
the commission’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the commission in its final opinion. See Faulkner v. Chugach Development Corp.,
VWC File No. 211-29-49 (Sept. 7, 2004). We dispense with oral argument and summarily
affirm because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process. See Code § 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27.
Affirmed.
