Bituminous Casualty Corp. v. Lewis

COOPER, Chief Justice.

OPINION

This is a workmen’s compensation action in which the appellee was awarded benefits for permanent total disability resulting from pneumoconiosis, an occupational disease listed in T.C.A. section 50-1101. Appellant insists there is no evidence that appellee’s disease was caused by his employment with appellant’s insured, Kopper Glo Fuels, Inc. Appellant also insists that ap-pellee failed to give notice of disability as required by statute, and that appellee’s claim for benefits is barred by the statutory limitation on claims for occupational diseases.
