LAWRENCE MITCHELL v. WAUPACA FOUNDRY, INC., ET AL.

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jun 7, 2022

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Lawrence Mitchell, Etowah, Tennessee, employee-appellant, pro se

Attorneys 2: Catheryne L. Grant and Taylor R. Pruitt, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the employer-appellee, Waupaca Foundry, Inc.

Judge(s): GODKIN

In this appeal of an order granting the employer’s motion for summary judgment, the employee asserts that the trial court erred in accepting the authorized physician’s opinion regarding maximum medical improvement and permanent partial impairment. The employer had filed the motion for summary judgment asserting there were no genuine issues of material fact in dispute with respect to the degree of the employee’s permanent disability arising from the work injury, and the trial court agreed. The employee has appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s decision and certify the trial court’s order as final.
