Description
This workers' compensation case presents an appeal by Defendant-employer of the trial court's awards of (1) 60 percent permanent
partial disability to Plaintiff-employee's body as a whole, and (2) 25 weeks temporary total disability benefits. For the
reasons set forth below, the trial court is affirmed in part and modified. On August 25, 1986, Plaintiff Leonard Thompson was injured when the bus he was driving for Defendant Leon Russell Enterprises
was involved in an accident in Pennsylvania. Specifically, Plaintiff suffered cuts and bruises to his back, hip, and legs
when the accident's impact caused the driver's compartment to collapse around him. Emergency personnel were eventually able
to extract Plaintiff from the wreckage, and he was transported to a Pennsylvania hospital for treatment. There, Plaintiff
was not found to have suffered any broken bones, and was released on crutches with the recommendation that he contact his
family physician should his pain persist. Defendant's agents transported Plaintiff back to Nashville and, because Plaintiff
was unable to climb the steps to his own apartment, took him to his daughter's house.
