Gary Clark v. Standard Iron, Inc. and Lumberman's Casualty Insurance Company v. Sue Ann Head, Administrator of the Second Injury Fund for the State of Tennessee

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with the provisions of Tennessee CodeAnnotated section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Second Injury Fund has appealed the action of the trial court, which determined that the Employer, Standard Iron, Inc., was responsible for payment of 25% of the award to the Worker, Gary Clark, and that the Second Injury Fund was responsible for payment of 75%.  Upon our consideration of all of the evidence, we find that the trial court properly determined all issues, but we find that the award should be modified.
