Sistrunk worked as a mechanic for Sikorsky Support Services, Inc. Sistrunk sued Sikorsky Support, seeking workers' compensation benefits for injuries to his right shoulder. Sistrunk and Sikorsky Support later stipulated that Sistrunk had sustained compensable injuries to his right shoulder as a result of accidents at work on September 20, 2000, and September 17, 2002. At trial, the trial court received oral testimony from Sistrunk and Dana Davis, an environmental-health-and-safety manager employed by Sikorsky Support. The trial court also received the deposition testimony of Sistrunk and Dr. Dexter Walcott, who had treated Sistrunk after his September 2002 accident. Sistrunk testified that he progressively began to experience pain in his left shoulder following the injuries to his right shoulder.
