Brian Engebretson v. Allied Waste Industries Of Tennessee, Inc., a/k/a BFI Waste Systems Of North America, Inc., et al.

TThis workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to this panel in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. Employee appeals the trial court’s finding of no permanent disability as being against the preponderance of the evidence and asserts error in the admission of medical evidence due to leading questions. We find the trial court did not commit harmful error in overruling objections to leading questions propounded to the medical expert. We further find that the finding of no permanent disability is against the preponderance of the evidence and fix the employee’s permanent disability at 30% to the left leg.
