a workers’ compensation case concerning the statutory limitations for a claim for additional benefits, Justice George Rose Smith, in holding that the employee was statutorily barred from receiving additional benefits, stated, “It is plainly the better rule to put upon the claimant the burden of filing his claim for additional compensation within the time allowed by the statute. In our opinion, that view of the matter gives effect both to the letter and to the spirit of the law.” 251 Ark. at 875, 475 S.W.2d at 534. Although not directly on point, we find that this holding is analogous and instructive. The claimant has always been required to prove all of the elements of his workers’ compensation claim. See McFall v. Farmers Tractor & Truck Co., 227 Ark. 985, 302 S.W.2d 801 (1957) (<HOLDING>); Am. Cas. Co. v. Jones, 224 Ark. 731, 276
holding that the liberal construction of workers compensation laws did not relieve a claimant of the burden of showing a causal relation between his injury and the employment holding the retaliation claim did arise under states workers compensation laws holding that the burden rests upon the party seeking benefits to prove the injury sustained was the result of an accident arising out of and in the course of employment and the rule of liberal construction is not a substitute for the claimants burden of establishing his claim by a preponderance of the evidence holding that the burden of proof is on the claimant holding that retaliation claim did not arise under states workers compensation laws
