Why Do I Need an Attorney?

Tennessee workers’ compensation laws are complex, including several provisions applicable to specific types of injuries. Navigating the system while trying to recover from serious injuries can be overwhelming and lawsuits may still be an option in cases where a third party (such as an equipment manufacturer) shares in the blame. Our Morristown workers’ compensation lawyers at The Terry Law Firm have helped injured workers and families across East Tennessee deal with job-related accidents and occupational diseases, and fight for the full compensation they are entitled to.

Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Most employers in Tennessee subscribe to the workers’ compensation system ad only companies with less than five employees are exempt, and there are exceptions for the coal mining and construction industries. Workers’ compensation benefits for eligible employees may cover medical benefits, temporary, or permanent total disability benefits, or death benefits payable to a spouse or next-of-kin.

An Experienced Legal Team Fighting for the Benefits You Need

Because the benefits can be substantial, employers and their insurance carriers carefully scrutinize any potential workers’ compensation claim and they often try to deny legitimate claims in the hopes of saving money. Employers have lawyers, insurance companies, and other experts on their side, you deserve an experienced legal team working on yours.
