Court reviews whether an employee's hernias were compensable injuries

ANITA BERKLEY RHODES v. CAREALL, INC. ET AL. (TWCA December 20, 2011)

An employee alleged that she sustained a right- and left-side hernia while working. Her employer denied the claim for the left-side hernia. The trial court held that both the right- and left-side hernias were compensable and awarded permanent partial disability benefits. The employer appealed. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
