Tyson Foods, Inc. v. Griffin

Court of Appeals of Arkansas

Decided April 8, 1998No. CA 97-1184PublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

John F. Stroud, Jr., Judge.

Tyson Foods, Inc., appeals a decision of the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission that found that Teddy Griffin sustained a compensable injury to his hands as a result of his employment. Tyson challenges the sufficiency of the Commission’s findings regarding osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. It contends that Mr. Griffin did not 1) present objective medical findings to support the Commission’s finding that his osteoarthritis was aggravated by his employment, and 2) establish that his carpal tunnel syndrome is a compensable claim. We affirm.
