BREEAHNA BRITT v. CENTER FOR YOUTH MINISTRY TRAINING, ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 19, 2026

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Breeahna Britt, employee-appellant, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Gordon Aulgur, Lansing, Michigan, for the employer-appellee, Center for Youth Ministry Training.

Judge(s): CONNER

In this interlocutory appeal, the employee sustained compensable injuries. After a period of authorized medical treatment in Tennessee, the employee moved out of state. She alleged that the employer failed to provide her a valid panel of physicians for selection of an authorized physician in her new state of residence. During the course of a two-day expedited hearing, the employer acknowledged that the employee had not received a valid panel of physicians, and it provided a panel of specialists at the conclusion of day two of the hearing. Thereafter, the trial court issued an order in which it: (1) determined that the employee was entitled to a panel of specialists; and (2) denied the employee’s request to have her physical therapist deemed to be her authorized treating physician. The employee has appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s order and remand the case.
