Gary A. Price v. Tipton Steel Erectors, Inc., and Legion Insurance Company

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. § 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 plaintiff thirty (30) weeks of permanent disability for the loss of his right, great toe. On appeal, the employee contends that his injury was not limited to the scheduled member but that he is entitled to an award of permanent, partial vocational disability to the body as a whole. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
