Golden Poultry Co., Inc. v. Staggs

THIGPEN, Judge.

In November 1993, Dorothy Staggs filed a complaint seeking workers’ compensation benefits by alleging that she had injured her left knee, in December 1992, while working within the line and scope of her employment with Golden Poultry Company, Inc. (Golden). She further alleged that she had suffered a permanent total disability as a result of this job-related accident. Golden answered, admitting that Staggs had suffered an injury while acting in the line and scope of her employment, but contending that a dispute existed as to the degree of her injury and the resulting disability.
