Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals

Attorneys 1: Lauren Taylor, Foristell, Missouri, appellant, pro se.

Attorneys 2: John W. Barringer, Jr. and Jenna M. Macnair, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellees John and Stephanie Ingram, LLC and American Zurich Insurance Company.

Judge(s): MORGAN

Lauren Taylor ("Employee") sustained a compensable injury on May 12, 2019, while working for John and Stephanie Ingram, LLC ("Employer"). The Court of Workers' Compensation Claims ("trial court") entered an order approving a settlement agreement on August 24, 2021. Giving rise to the instant appeal, Employee filed a motion to set aside the settlement agreement on January 24, 2024. The trial court denied the motion on two independent grounds. First, the trial court determined that the motion was not timely filed. Second, the trial court found that, even if the motion was timely, Employee had failed to show that relief was warranted. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board ("Appeals Board") affirmed on both grounds. Employee has appealed and the appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 51. We affirm.
