Charles Cross v. Norrod Builders, Inc., et al.

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court our findings of fact and conclusions of law. In this appeal, the employer asserts that the trial court erred in failing to order the Employee to submit to a medical examination requested by the Employer, in admitting improper evidence concerning a Form C-32, Standard Form Medical Report for Industrial Injuries (C-32) submitted by the Employer, in failing to consider that C-32, and in awarding to the Employee 75% permanent partial disability to the body as a whole as a result of an injury sustained during the course of his employment with Norrod Builders, Inc. We conclude that the trial court committed no error and the evidence presented does not preponderate against the findings of the trial judge. In accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated §50-6-225(e)(2), the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
