William Allen Jones v. Travelers Casualty& Surety

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellant-employee appealed the trial court's ruling that his injury was of a temporary nature and that appellee was only liable for medical expenses to the date of the trial. Appellant argues the only expert medical evidence established his injury was of a permanent nature. Judgment of the trial court is reversed to fix permanent disability at 2% to the body as a whole and case is remanded to enforce other alternative findings.
