TWCA reviews whether an employee was permanently and totally disabled as a result of her injury

KATHY JOHNSON v. YOON INVESTMENTS, L.L.C. ET AL. (TWCA April 12, 2012)

The trial court found that the employee had sustained a compensable injury in October 2005 and that she was permanently and totally disabled as a result of the injury. It also found that the employee’s hospitalization in November and December 2009 was related to her work injury and ordered her employer to pay associated medical expenses.

On appeal, her employer contends that the trial court erred by finding that the employee was permanently and totally disabled and that the 2009 medical expenses were related to her work injury. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
