Yvonne McCann, et al., v. Glen Hatchett, et al.

Case Number
W1998-00808-SC-WCM-CV

In this workers’ compensation case the sole issue is whether the death of a traveling employee by
drowning is compensable as arising out of and in the course of employment. The trial court granted summary judgment to the employer. We granted the employer’s motion for review filed pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-6-225(e)(5)(1999) and have determined that the employee’s death may have arisen out of and in the course of the employment. It results that the trial court’s grant of summary judgment to the employer is error, and the cause is remanded.
