MILEN DIMITROV v. BECHTEL NATIONAL, INC., ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 2, 2026

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Joshua A. Wolfe and Trent M. Norris, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the employer-appellant, Bechtel National, Inc.

Attorneys 2: Milen Dimitrov, employee-appellee, pro se.

Judge(s): CONNER

In this interlocutory appeal, the employer asserts the trial court erred in denying its motion for summary judgment. The employee reported falling while walking down a concrete step at a jobsite, resulting in left elbow and wrist fractures. Thereafter, the employee alleged that he suffered from various other injuries and medical conditions that arose from the work accident. In its motion for summary judgment, the employer acknowledged the compensability of the employee’s left wrist and elbow injuries but asserted that the employee has not come forward with any evidence that any other medical diagnoses arose primarily from the work accident. It supported its dispositive motion with a statement of undisputed material facts and two physicians’ written reports and/or causation opinions. The trial court determined that the employer failed to meet its burden of production and denied its dispositive motion, and the employer has appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s order and remand the case.
