WILLIAM A. INMAN, III v. MACLEAN FOGG CO., ET AL.

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Dec 26, 2025

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: William A. Inman, III, Trenton, Tennessee, employee-appellant, pro se.

Attorneys 2: G. Gerard Jabaley, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the employer-appellee, Maclean Fogg Co.

Judge(s): WEAVER

The employee questions the trial court’s denial of benefits in this interlocutory appeal. The employee filed a petition for benefit determination in February 2025 for a back injury that occurred on March 29, 2022. Although the employer originally accepted the compensability of the accident and authorized certain medical treatment, the employer denied the claim after the employee filed his petition, asserting the statute of limitations had expired. After an expedited hearing, the court found the employee did not come forward with sufficient evidence to indicate a likelihood of prevailing at trial as to the statute of limitations issue and denied the employee’s request for benefits. The employee has appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s interlocutory decision and remand the case.
