Brogdon v. Chattanooga General Ser.
03S01-9803-CV-00021
Authoring Judge: John K. Byers, Senior Judge
Trial Court Judge: Hon. Robert M. Summitt,
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. Review of the findings of fact made by the trial court is de novo upon the record of the trial court, accompanied by a presumption of the correctness of the findings, unless the preponderance of the evidence is otherwise. Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(2); Stone v. City of McMinnville, 896 S.W.2d 548, 55 (Tenn. 1995). The application of this standard requires this Court to weigh in more depth the factual findings and conclusions of the trial court in a workers' compensation case. See Corcoran v. Foster Auto GMC, Inc., 746 S.W.2d 452, 456 (Tenn. 1988). The defendant appeals from an order of the trial judge entered on the 26th day of January 1998 which set aside a portion of a final judgment in an approved settlement of a compensation claim made by the plaintiff against the defendant. The approved settlement and judgment thereon was entered on October 11, 1996, and among the provisions therein was the approval of medical care for a period of one year. The care was to be provided by Dr. Lester F. Littell, an orthopedic surgeon. In addition, a fund of $2,1.4 was established for future medical care. On October 6, 1997, the plaintiff filed a motion to set aside or modify the judgment, asking that he be allowed to be seen by another or other doctors to determine if he should have back surgery. No evidence was introduced in the hearing on the motion, although there were medical records from Dr. Littell and Dr. George Seiters, also an orthopedic surgeon. Both of these physicians were of the opinion the plaintiff did not require surgery. In a sworn affidavit, the plaintiff alleged he was not allowed by the defendant to obtain a second opinion on whether he needed surgery. This statement was false. The insurance carrier as well approved an examination by Dr. Seiters, and Dr. Littell's notes reflect he referred the plaintiff to Dr. Seiters. We are somewhat hampered in this case by the fact that counsel for the plaintiff withdrew as counsel in accordance with the rule allowing withdrawal. The 2
