Billy Overstreet v. TRW Commercial Steering Division et al. - Concurring

Case Number
M2007-01817-SC-R10-WC

I concur with the Court’s conclusion that, in the context of litigation regarding a claim under the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer and the employer’s lawyer are not entitled to have ex parte communications with the physician treating the employee. However, I base my conclusion on legal principles that differ from the “contract implied in law” theory relied upon by the Court.
