RICKY CALDWELL v. FEDERAL MOGUL MOTORSPORTS CORP., ET AL.

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Oct 11, 2019

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1:

Alex B. Morrison and Christopher G. Rowe, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the employer appellant, Federal Mogul Motorsports Corp.

Attorneys 2:

Steven Fifield, Hendersonville, Tennessee, for the employee-appellee, Ricky Caldwell

Judge(s): CONNER

In this interlocutory appeal, the employer asserts the trial court erred in conducting a telephonic hearing over the employer’s objections and in conditioning a medical examination requested by the employer on its being live-streamed to or videoconferenced with the employee’s personal physician. In addition, the employee asserts that the trial court’s original May 3, 2019 order requiring the employer’s medical examination to be video-conferenced is not subject to review on appeal because the employer’s notice of appeal was not filed until more than seven business days after the order was issued. Upon careful review of the record, we conclude the issues presented in this appeal are subject to our review. We affirm in part and reverse in part the trial court’s order and remand the case.
