OPINION

2Opinion of the Court · KirbyHolly M. Kirby, J.

in which ALAN E. HIGHERS, J., and DAVID R. FARMER, J. joined.

This is a legal malpractice action. The client filed this lawsuit against her former attorney, asserting legal malpractice for his failure to re-file a lawsuit under the Tennessee Workers’ Compensation Act within one year after he took a voluntary non-suit of the lawsuit. The trial court granted the former attorney’s motion for summary judgment, finding the client’s evidence in the underlying workers’ compensation action insufficient to establish the damages element of the legal malpractice action. We affirm.
