Denny Cain v. Whirlpool Corporation,

In this appeal, the employer insists (1) the trial court erred in admitting into evidence the testimony of a chiropractor in an action involving a shoulder injury, (2) the award of permanent partial disability benefits is excessive and (3) the trial court erred in awarding as discretionary costs expenses for the taking of the chiropractor's deposition. As discussed below, the judgment is modified by reducing the award of permanent partial disability benefits to one equal to two and one-half times the clinical impairment rating, but otherwise affirmed.
