Maser v. L. and H. Welding Machine Company3/24/2000
al construction.@ Wyoming does not follow the common law rule of Aliberal construction.@ Wyo. Stat. Ann. ' 27-14-101(b) (LEXIS 1999). In our decision we rely on only the New Mexico case, since that state does not follow the common law rule either. N.M. Stat. Ann. ' 52-5-1 (Michie 1991).
Even if it had considered the affidavit, the decision would have remained the same. We have reviewed the affidavit and concur with the district cour's determination. Error, if any, in the denial of the affidavi's admission was harmless.
CONCLUSION
Absent a specific directive from the legislature, we will apply Wyoming law to define the parameters of worker's compensation coverage. In this instance, Wyoming law indicates that Appellan's employment was lawful. Therefore, we affirm the district cour's determination that the provisions of our Worker's Compensation Act provide the exclusive means of Appellan's recovery for his injuries.
Affirmed.
