Trial Court Judge: Hon. H. David Cate,
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with T.C.A. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The plaintiff filed a "Petition to Reopen" a workers' compensation case wherein the judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court on March 26, 199. In the initial case, the Chancellor awarded the plaintiff benefits for a knee injury, a psychological disability, and vision loss. This Petition was filed November 27, 1995. The plaintiff alleged that he continues to suffer from "depression and other psychological problems," for which he seeks additional benefits. He amended the petition to allege that a management plan instituted in the "mid-197's" caused "stress and depression," which have gradually worsened. The defendant answered generally, and specifically pleaded the bar of the Statute of Limitations presented by T.C.A. _ 5-6-23 and T.C.A. _ 5-6- 224. Thereafter, the defendant filed a motion for summary judgment, alleging that the plaintiff's claim for workers' compensation benefits had been fully and finally adjudicated; that the plaintiff retired from Bell South on August 25, 1985, and thus was no longer an employee as defined by T.C.A. _ 5-6-12(3); and that the benefits owing to the plaintiff as a consequence of his initial action were paid in a lump sum which, by statute, forecloses the issue pursuant to T.C.A. _ 5-6-231. The motion for summary judgment was granted and the plaintiff appeals. The issue is whether the case should have been resolved summarily. We need not belabor the point. The plaintiff seeks benefits for some kind of incident that occurred five (5) years before the knee injury (then alleged 2

William R. Cross v. Mahle, Inc.
03S01-9704-CV-00038
Authoring Judge: Joe C. Loser, Jr., Special Judge
Trial Court Judge: Hon. Ben K.
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 employee contends the evidence preponderates against the trial court's finding that his heart attack was not a compensable injury by accident under the workers' compensation laws of Tennessee. As discussed below, the panel has concluded the judgment should be affirmed. The employee or claimant, Cross, was injured in an automobile accident in 1994 and left with a partial disability. In order to accommodate that disability, the employer placed him in a light duty position as a security guard, where he worked in an air conditioned guard shack. He would leave the shack from time to time to check the identity of a vehicle driver, a distance of twenty to twenty-five feet from the shack. In July of 1995, he was prescribed nitroglycerin for chest pain. On the evening of August 17, 1995, he experienced slight chest pain at home. The next day, a very hot one, he felt chest pain at work. The pain gradually increased in severity and did not subside for several hours, although he did not engage in any unusual physical exertion or stress. He left work and went home, then to the hospital, accompanied by his wife. Dr. Kenneth Allum treated the claimant. He testified that the claimant had suffered a minor heart attack and that going in and out of the guard shack in hot weather could have been the cause. Dr. Alfred Beasley disagreed on both counts, from medical records. Both doctors are board certified in internal medicine. Dr. Beasley is also a cardiologist. The medical records reflect the claimant as having poorly controlled diabetes, as being overweight and a heavy smoker and having a family history of coronary artery disease. The trial judge prepared and filed an exhaustive opinion in which he found that the claimant had failed to carry the burden of proof as to causation, and dismissed the claim. Appellate review is de novo upon the record 2
