Mahle, Inc. v. Walter Dean Rouse

This workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation
Appeals Panel of the Tennessee Supreme Court in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated
section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and
conclusions of law. The trial court awarded the Employee 85 percent permanent partial disability
as a result of metal poisoning at his workplace. The Employer contends the action should be
dismissed because notice of injury was not timely given and because the evidence was insufficient to establish causation of injury. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
