Emma Crowe v. Diocese of Memphis Housing Corp

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. Plaintiff filed a complaint for workers' compensation benefits on October 7, 1996, alleging severe psychological and emotional injury, or aggravation of same, arising out of her conditions at work. The trial court found that the statute of limitations had run on the plaintiff's claim prior to the filing of her complaint and dismissed the complaint. The court also made findings, for the record, that the plaintiff gave proper notice and that the plaintiff had failed to meet her burden of proving causation of a compensable injury. We affirm the judgment of the trial court dismissing plaintiff's complaint for the reasons herein stated.
