Timothy Warren, an employee of Yates Services, filed a Request for Expedited Hearing after suffering a left arm injury at work in December 2015, which was aggravated at home in February 2016. Yates Services and Travelers Ins. denied the claim, arguing the biceps tendon tear was not primarily work-related. Judge Dale Tipps of the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims at Murfreesboro found that Mr. Warren is likely to prove a compensable claim based on Dr. Haslam's opinion that over 51% of his symptoms were work-related. The court ordered Yates Services to pay for medical care, designate Dr. Haslam as the authorized treating physician, and pay past-due temporary total disability benefits from February 10, 2016, to May 2, 2016. The issue of temporary partial disability and a 25% penalty was deferred to a final compensation hearing.
