Workplace Injuries
Memphis Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Workers’ compensation claims are often denied unjustly, preventing injured employees from recovering workers’ compensation benefits. Our Memphis workers’ compensation lawyers handle all workplace injuries, including wage loss, disability and past and future medical claims.
If you have been injured on the job you may be entitled to benefits under your state’s workers’ compensation system. This may include situations related to the following: weekly compensation until you are able to return to work; medical care until you have reached maximum medical improvement; payment for permanent impairment or disability; mileage payments to and from your medical appointments; prescription reimbursement and compensation for permanent scaring or disfigurement.
Unlike other forms of injury law, it is not necessary that your employer or any third party be at fault for your injury. All that is required is that you were injured while in the course and scope of your employment. Workplace injuries may develop suddenly (such as from a fall or other unexpected accident), or may develop more slowly from repetitive movements or exposure to chemicals or other unsafe conditions.
How to Make a Workers Compensation Claim
In order to be successful with your Tennessee workers’ compensation claim it is necessary to follow certain strict procedures and time requirements. The statute of limitations on a workers’ compensation claim is usually shorter than in other types of injury cases. The insurance company may improperly, even cruelly, deny your claim. When this happens we can obtain the benefits you deserve. Engaging the assistance of a local Memphis workers’ compensation attorney is one step toward seeing that you receive just and fair compensation for your injury.
Even if you have been trying to file your own claim, and have been unsuccessful or are not sure you are getting a fair result, we can assist you with the filing of a claim or the ongoing negotiations.
Consult with one of our local, Memphis-based, personal injury attorneys before agreeing to a settlement or signing any documents.
Most workers’ compensation cases are accepted on a contingency basis, meaning that there is no fee unless you actually recover monetary compensation for your injuries. Attorney’s fees are calculated as a percentage of the recovery prior to any costs or expenses being subtracted. There is no fee or obligation for meeting with us to have your case evaluated.
We are dedicated to provide the same attention to all cases, big or small, and commit to fully investigate and help successfully resolve your case. 1-800-HURT-911
