Britton v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.3/20/2000
t must cause an actual progression of the underlying disease. Sweat v. Superior Indus., 966 S.W.2d 31 (Tenn. 1998). The supreme court has also held: " n award may be predicated on medical testimony to the effect that a given incident `could be' the cause of the plaintiff's injury when he has before him lay testimony from which it may reasonably be inferred that the incident was in fact the cause of the injury." Tindall v. Waring Park Ass'n, 725 S.W.2d 935 (Tenn. 1987).
In this case there is no medical evidence to support the plaintiff's claim.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court. The cost of the appeal is taxed to the appellant/plaintiff.
