Roberta Adams (plaintiff) sought workers'-compensation benefits from the Industrial Commission (defendant) for pain developed while working as a telemarketer.

The Commission affirmed an administrative law judge's denial of benefits-concluding her work did not cause her symptoms-without making detailed findings of fact.
IssueFree
