Singleton appealed a trial court's judgment that allowed Sentry, a workers' compensation carrier, a credit against his damages, reducing his recovery. Singleton argued the credit erroneously included payments for a separate, unadjudicated injury. The trial court, however, treated the matter as a single injury case stemming from an August 1990 incident. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision, finding no record evidence to support Singleton's claim of two separate injuries or the trial court exceeding its jurisdiction.
