JOSE UMANZOR v. ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY ET AL.

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Apr 15, 2014

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Steve Taylor, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jose Umanzor.

Attorneys 2:

Margaret Sams Gratz, Tupelo, Mississippi, for the appellee, Zurich American Insurance Company and F.L. Crane and Sons, Inc.

Judge(s): HOLDER

An employee asserted that he injured his lower back while working as a construction laborer for his employer. Approximately two years after the incident, the employee provided written notice of his injury to his employer. The employer denied the claim, contending that the employee failed to give timely notice of his injury and that his claim was barred by the statute of limitations. The trial court agreed with the employer and entered judgment in its favor. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
