C. Annette Garland v. St. Mary's Health System, Inc.

This workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation
Appeals Panel of the Tennessee Supreme Court in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated
section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the supreme court of findings of fact and
conclusions of law. The trial court awarded Plaintiff 54 percent permanent partial disability as a
result of sustaining a latex allergy injury. Defendant contends the evidence established that Plaintiff did not have a latex allergy condition and if she did, her last employer would be responsible for compensation under the last injurious exposure rule. We affirm the judgment.
