Posted by: Suzanne Craig Robertson on Apr 1, 2015

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Christian M. Garstin and Lance W. Thompson, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Publix Supermarkets, Inc. and Hartford Insurance of the Midwest.

Attorneys 2:

Brian Dunigan, Goodlettsville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Alexander Knight.

Judge(s): CLARK

A grocery store employee alleged that he sustained an injury to his back at work and that he also sustained a mental injury as a result of the back injury. His employer denied that he suffered a permanent physical injury or any mental injury at all. The trial court awarded benefits for both injuries. The employer has appealed, asserting that the evidence preponderates against the trial court’s findings. The appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation Appeals Panel for a hearing and a report of findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 51. We affirm the judgment.
