04/13/21 Last week, the Tennessee Supreme Court issued an order declining to review a case where a Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel had adopted an Appeals Board opinion in whole. The high court's per curiam order means the Panel decision is final in Boutros v. Amazon.com DEDC, LLC. In the case, Nesreen Boutros suffered a work-related injury to her neck and right arm and shoulder while working as a package handler for Amazon in April 2015. Ultimately, the case was tried in October 2019, after which the trial judge awarded approximately $30,000 in past temporary disability benefits. Amazon appealed to the Tennessee Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, which affirmed.
