Description
The primary question in this case is whether changes in the Wyoming Workers Compensation Act, WYO. STAT. §§ 27-14-101 to -805 (1991 &; Supp. 1994), justify the entry of a summary judgment by a hearing examiner in a contested case. Collateral questions are raised with respect to the necessity of reporting injuries occurring over a period of time pursuant to WYO. STAT. § 27-14-502 and the propriety of a summary judgment in this case. We hold the statute has been changed to justify the availability of summary judgment in the administrative proceeding. Consistent with prior rulings, we hold an injury which develops over a period of time must be reported after it is diagnosed, and the entry of a summary judgment in this case was appropriate. We affirm the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order Granting Summary Judgment and the Order Denying Benefits entered in the Office of Administrative Hearings by the hearing examiner.
