Narrative Opinion Summary
Argonaut Great Central Insurance Company appeals a decision by the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission, which found that Argonaut had issued a valid workers’ compensation policy for Len Behnen Inc. (operating as Yesterday’s restaurant) at the time Cathy Werremeyer was injured while working there. Argonaut contends that the Commission incorrectly determined that the workers’ compensation policy was not properly cancelled in accordance with section 379.883 RSMo 1994. After reviewing the parties' arguments and the appeal record, the court found no legal errors. An extensive opinion detailing the facts or legal principles was deemed unnecessary as it would not provide precedential value. The court affirms the Commission's award under Rule 84.16(b).
