LARNELL MOON v. FIRSTFLEET, INC., ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 9, 2026

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Heather H. Douglas, Nashville, Tennessee, for the employer-appellant, FirstFleet, Inc.

Attorneys 2: Christopher D. Markel, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the employee-appellee, Larnell Moon

Judge(s): WEAVER

The employer challenges the trial court’s interlocutory order requiring it to provide a panel of neuro-ophthalmologists. The employee was involved in an accident while working as a commercial truck driver for the employer, resulting in multiple injuries. He was referred to a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist for several of his complaints, and that specialist opined that the employee should be evaluated by a neuro-ophthalmologist for his reports of blurred vision. The employer denied the referral due to insufficient information regarding the cause of the alleged blurred vision. The trial court, in a decision on the record, ordered the employer to provide a panel of neuro-ophthalmologists. The employer appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s order and remand the case.
