583 S.E.2d 56 (2003)

41 Va. App. 130

Joanne E. LUCAS v. FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION.

Court of Appeals of Virginia, Richmond.

July 8, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert L. Flax (Flax & Stout, on briefs), Richmond, for appellant.

Dana L. Plunkett (Semmes, Bowen & Semmes, P.C., on brief), McLean, for appellee.

Present: FELTON and KELSEY, JJ., and WILLIS, Senior Judge.

FELTON, Judge.

Joanne Lucas appeals a decision of the Workers' Compensation Commission denying her benefits for injuries she sustained as a result of lightning striking her delivery truck during a package pickup. Lucas contends that (1) the conditions of her employment exposed her to a special risk from the forces of nature, thus entitling her to benefits, and (2) expert testimony was not needed to prove the risk she faced. We affirm the commission's decision.
