Alicia Hunt v. Dillard's Inc., ET AL.

This appeal challenges (1) the trial court’s factual finding that the employee was pressured to resign after incurring an on-the-job injury, and declining to cap her workers’ compensation award at one and one half (1½) times the impairment rating on that basis; (2) the total amount awarded as permanent partial disability benefits; and (3) the award of temporary total disability benefits from the date of Employee’s surgery on August 14, 2014, until Appellee reached maximum medical improvement on April 27, 2015. The appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation Appeals Panel for a hearing and a report of findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 51. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
