Georgia Court of Appeals
Jorge F. Lamar v. Delta Airlines, Inc. et al.
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue is whether a treating physician's medical report, which only noted a weight restriction, is sufficient to unilaterally convert total disability benefits to partial disability benefits. The Georgia Court of Appeals REVERSED and REMANDED the superior court's order, directing the case to the Board for consideration of attorney fees and an award consistent with the opinion.
