Shane Dean Cross v. Pemberton Truck Lines, Inc., et al.

This workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law.  On appeal, Employer contends that the trial court erred in finding that Employee’s expert and lay testimony established that his injuries arose out of and in the scope of his employment. Because the evidence does not preponderate against the findings, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
