A-17-0465, Willie Moss a/k/a Lamont Kirkland v. C&A Industries, d/b/a/ Aurstaff Temporary Agency, Employer (Appellant)
Workers’ Compensation Court
Attorneys for Appellant: Jill Hamer Conway & Paul F. Prentiss (Prentiss Grant Law Firm)
Attorneys for Appellee: Terrence J. Salerno & Danny Clair Leavitt (Salerno Law Firm)
Workers’ Compensation Action: Compensability of employee’s injury; modification of award
Action taken by the Trial Court: The trial court entered an order of further award finding Kirkland experienced a material and substantial change in his physical condition for the worse due solely to injuries suffered in the original, injury-causing accident.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Did the trial court err in finding Kirkland experienced a material and substantial change for the worse in his right knee condition distinct and different since the prior trials and awards due solely to his July 2008 accident? Did the trial court err in adopting medical opinions in support of its ruling that did not meet the required burden of proof?
