AMANDA MOSLEY v. HG STAFFING, LLC, ET AL.

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jun 25, 2021

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Rosalia Fiorello, Nashville, Tennessee, for the employer-appellant, HG Staffing, LLC.

Attorneys 2: Amanda Mosley, Carthage, Tennessee, employee-appellee, pro se.

Judge(s): CONNER

The employee reported suffering an injury to her right wrist and hand when she twisted her hand in an effort to catch a falling automotive part. She further alleged that repetitive job duties contributed to or aggravated her right wrist condition. The employer denied the claim, asserting the employee’s medical condition did not arise primarily out of the employment. Following an earlier expedited hearing, the trial court determined the employee was entitled to temporary partial disability benefits but did not show a likelihood of prevailing on the issue of ongoing medical benefits. That order was not appealed. Thereafter, the employee filed a request for a second expedited hearing and submitted a Standard Form Medical Report (Form C-32) from a physician. The employer objected to the trial court’s consideration of the Form C-32, arguing it was deficient in several respects. Following the second expedited hearing, the trial court concluded the employee had come forward with sufficient evidence to indicate a likelihood of prevailing on her claim for additional medical benefits, and the employer has appealed. We affirm the trial court’s order and remand the case.
