Text: A judgment, order, or award of the compensation court after review shall have the same force and effect as a jury verdict in a civil case. Hemmerling v. Happy Cab Co., 247 Neb. 919, 530 N.W.2d 916 (1995). A judgment, order, or award of the compensation court may be modified, reversed, or set aside only upon the grounds that (1) the compensation court acted without or in excess of its powers; (2) the judgment, order, or award was procured by fraud; (3) there is not sufficient competent evidence in the record to warrant the making of the order, judgment, or award; or (4) the findings of fact by the compensation court do not support the order or award. Id. Factual determinations by the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court will not be set aside on appeal unless such determinations are clearly erroneous. Aken v. Nebraska Methodist Hosp., 245 Neb. 161, 511 N.W.2d 762 (1994).
