Court reviews whether a medical expert's testimony was properly entered into evidence

BETTY FRANKLIN v. DURO STANDARD PRODUCTS CO., INC. (Tenn. Ct. App. August 1, 2012)

In this claim for workers’ compensation benefits, the trial court awarded permanent partial disability benefits to the employee for hearing loss. Her employer has appealed, contending that the trial court erred by admitting the testimony of the employee’s medical expert into evidence and by finding that her hearing loss was caused by her employment. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
