Keith Alan Jordan v. QW Memphis Corp., Quebecor World Dickson, Inc. and Travelers Indemnity Company of Illinois

This workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated § 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court found that the employee had suffered a work-related back injury and awarded the employee permanent partial disability benefits of 57.5% to the body as a whole. The employer appeals, contending that the employee’s back problems did not arise out of his employment. We affirm the trial court.
