DIANNE MOORE v. BEACON TRANSPORT, LLC, ET AL.

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Oct 29, 2021

Head Comment: HENSLEY concurred in a separate opinion.

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Dianne Moore, Erin, Tennessee, employee-appellant, pro se

Attorneys 2: Cole Stinson, Lansing, Michigan, for the employer-appellee, Beacon Transport, LLC

Judge(s): CONNER

The employee, a truck driver, reported low back pain, leg numbness, and other symptoms following an incident in Oklahoma. After certain authorized medical evaluations were completed, the employer denied the claim, asserting the employee’s medical condition was not causally related to the alleged work accident. Following a compensation hearing, the trial court concluded the employee had not proven by a preponderance of the evidence that her medical condition arose primarily from the reported work accident, and the employee appealed. Upon careful consideration of the record, we affirm the trial court’s order and certify it as final.
