Tenpenny v. Batesville Casket Co.

OPINION

FONES, Justice.

This is a direct appeal from the chancery court’s judgment awarding the plaintiff Workers’ Compensation benefits. The Chancellor found the defendant liable for benefits for fifty-percent permanent partial disability to the body as a whole. The defendant appeals on two grounds: (1) the trial court erred in finding that the plaintiff had complied with the notice requirement of Tenn.Code Ann. § 50-6-201 and (2) the trial court erred in awarding the plaintiff certain medical expenses that were not authenticated as reasonable and necessary by a health care provider.
