Heading: Scope of Review and Issue on Appeal.

Text: Our review is limited to correction of errors of law. See 2800 Corp. v. Fernandez, 528 N.W.2d 124, 126 (Iowa 1995). Relief may be granted if the agency's action is unsupported by substantial evidence in the record. See George A. Hormel & Co. v. Jordan, 569 N.W.2d 148, 151 (Iowa 1997). Evidence is substantial if a reasonable mind would find it adequate to reach the same conclusion as that reached by the commissioner. Fernandez, 528 N.W.2d at 126. Furthermore, [a]n agency's decision does not lack substantial evidence because inconsistent conclusions may be drawn from the same evidence. Id. The sole issue on appeal in this case is whether there was substantial evidence to support the commissioner's conclusion that Wills' injuries arose out of his employment with Koehler. The resolution of that issue turns on whether Wills' case was fatally deficient because it lacked any evidence that Wills' injuries were in fact worse because he fell from a height. We turn now to a review of the governing legal principles.
