Nathan v. Harris,

03S01-9805-CH-00047
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. section 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellant insists "the trial court abused his discretion when it allowed the plaintiff to re-open his proof after final judgment was entered against plaintiff." The appellee insists the "defendant has waived the issue it now presents for appellate review, due to the fact that defendant failed to make the appropriate objection at the trial court level." As discussed below, the panel has concluded the judgment should be affirmed. On April 19, 1993, the employee or claimant, Kilgore, suffered a work related accidental injury at work. He filed a complaint averring he suffered from reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome because of the accident, seven requests for production of documents and twenty-four interrogatories in the Chancery Court for Sullivan County on November 23, 1993. On February 8, 1994, the employer filed its answer admitting the work related accident, but denying that the claimant's medical condition was causally connected to the accident. On November 21, 1995, over two and one-half years after the accident, the claimant filed an amended complaint, averring the same thing, but also claiming an injury in September of 1992. On August 16,1996, an order of readiness was entered setting the case for trial on October 16, 1996. Two days before scheduled trial date, the defendant answered the amended complaint by asserting that the claim was time barred to the extent that the plaintiff was seeking benefits for the September, 1992 injury. The case was actually tried on November 16, 1996. The chancellor found that the 1992 claim was time barred, that the plaintiff had failed to establish that he suffered a compensable work related permanent injury in the 1993 accident, but that he was temporarily and totally disabled from May 19, 1993 to September 7, 1993 and that he would retain a permanent partial disability of fifteen percent to the body as a whole. The last two findings were contingent 2
