B-F Drilling v. State

B-F Drilling, Inc. appeals the denial of workers compensation benefits for its employee, Scott House, who was injured while working in Louisiana ten days after his hire. After a contested case hearing, the hearing examiner issued an order denying benefits, finding that the employee was permanently assigned outside of Wyoming. The hearing examiner also found that the Wyoming Workers Safety and Compensation Division was not estopped by acceptance of premium payments for the employee after it denied coverage.
