Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: James D. Lane, Tullahoma, Tennessee, and Sam David Knight and Grant E. Reese, Birmingham, Alabama, for the appellant, Gilley Construction, Inc.

Attorneys 2: Benjamin Micah Rose, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the appellee, Travelers Property Casualty Company of America

Judge(s): BENNETT

This case concerns the interpretation of an assigned risk workers’ compensation insurance policy. The trial court construed the contract to give the insurer the authority to determine the meaning of the NCCI classification code provision at issue and granted summary judgment in favor of the insurer. We have determined that the trial court erred in its interpretation of the pertinent code provision and, therefore, we reverse and remand.
