Shirley Moore v. Best Metal Cabinets

In this appeal, the Employer argues that the trial court erred in awarding permanent disability benefits to the Employee, in failing to apply the 2.5 cap pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 5-6-241(a), and in failing to make specific findings of fact pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 5-6-241(c). We conclude that the evidence preponderates in favor of the trial court's award of permanent disability benefit; that the evidence fails to preponderate against the trial court's award of benefits that exceed the 2.5 cap; and that the evidence preponderates against the trial court's award of six times the anatomic impairment rating. We, therefore, affirm the trial court's judgment, as modified.
