## Narrative

Filing only to comply w/MSHA regulations; however, company's investigation doesn't support employee's report that his shoulder tears occurred at work.  Company was officially notified 2/22/12 that Wk Comp agreed to pay claim under a disputed liability. EE notified Company on 1/13/12 that approx.5 weeks earlier he was injured & had been doctoring. We are contesting this filing.
