Gary Dickerson, an employee-appellant, sought workers' compensation benefits after sustaining multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident while allegedly performing errands for his employer, Dominion Development Group, LLC.

Dickerson appealed this interlocutory decision to the Tennessee Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The Appeals Board affirmed the trial court's decision and remanded the case, primarily due to Dickerson's failure, as a pro se litigant, to provide a transcript of the hearing, articulate specific appellate issues, or present supporting legal authority.
