KEVIN JUDY v. COVENANT TRANSPORT, INC., ET AL.

Posted by: Karen Belcher on Nov 15, 2019

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1:

Kevin Judy, Orlando, Florida, employee-appellant, pro se.

Attorneys 2:

Gary Napolitan, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the employer-appellee, Covenant Transport, Inc.

Judge(s): DAVIDSON

The employee, a truck driver, alleged suffering work-related injuries to his wrists while working for the employer, a trucking company. The employee admitted giving notice of his alleged November 2016 work injuries in April 2017 and, further, admitted attending an unauthorized medical evaluation for his wrists in February 2017. His petition for benefits was filed in October 2018, which the employer claimed was more than one year after its last voluntary payment of benefits. The trial court granted the employer’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case as untimely. The employee has appealed. We affirm the trial court’s decision and certify as final its order dismissing the case.
