Waddell Gray v. United Parcel Services, Inc., et al
02S01-9808-CV-00081
Authoring Judge: John K. Byers, Senior Judge
Trial Court Judge: Hon. Kay S. Robilio,
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 trial court found that the plaintiff sustained compensable injuries in July 1996 and was entitled to vocational disability awards of 2 percent to the body as a whole and 1 percent to each arm. The defendants present the following issue on appeal: "Did the trial court err in awarding the Plaintiff 2% impairment to the body as a whole and a 1% impairment to the right arm and 1% impairment to the left arm?" We modify the case and fix the permanent vocational disability based on the total injuries to the body as a whole in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5- 6- 27(3)(C) at 3%. BACKGROUND At the time of trial, the plaintiff was 53 years of age and had been employed by UPS as a feeder driver for the past 29 years. Prior to that, he worked at Owens Illinois, a corrugated box company. He attended college for three years and served in the U.S. Marine Corps for six years. Prior to the injury in this case, he was in good health and had no pain that prevented him from performing any activities. As a feeder driver, the plaintiff was required to drive and deliver packages to various destinations. His job specifically involved coupling and uncoupling trailers. He explained that he would connect or disconnect trailers by using a dolly that weighed between 15-17 pounds. Mr. Carl McVay, the plaintiff's manager, 2

Shelby Workers Compensation Panel

Susan Hoefler vs. Paul Hoefler
M1998-00966-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Muriel Robinson
This appeal involves a dispute over a provision in a marital dissolution agreement in which the parties agreed to enroll their children in parochial school. The non-custodial parent declined to pay for the parties' younger child's private school expenses after the custodial parent unilaterally withdrew the child from parochial school and enrolled him in another private school. When the non-custodial parent filed a petition in the Circuit Court for Davidson County to terminate his child support because his younger child had reached the age of majority, the custodial parent insisted that he should reimburse her for nearly $23,800 in expenses she had incurred to send the child to private school. The trial court, relying on the terms of the marital dissolution agreement, declined to order the non-custodial parent to reimburse the custodial parent for these expenses. On this appeal, the custodial parent asserts that the non-custodial parent waived his opportunity to object to her choice of schools for the parties' son and should be estopped to deny his responsibility for these educational expenses. She also requests this court to grant a retroactive upward deviation from the child support the non-custodial spouse had been paying. We affirm the trial court.
