Frequently Asked Questions

What types of workplace injuries does this office handle?
The practice focuses on workers compensation cases, which can include injuries from falls, repetitive stress, machinery accidents, exposure to hazardous substances, and other job-related incidents that occur in Tennessee workplaces.
How long do I have to file a workers compensation claim in Tennessee?
Tennessee law requires workers to report a workplace injury to their employer within 15 days of the accident. Missing this deadline can jeopardize your ability to receive benefits, so it is important to act quickly.
What if my employer's insurance company denied my claim?
A denial is not the end of the road. An attorney can review the reason for the denial, gather additional medical evidence, and file a petition with the Tennessee Court of Workers Compensation Claims to dispute the decision.
Can I choose my own doctor for a work injury in Tennessee?
Tennessee law generally requires injured workers to treat with a doctor from a panel provided by the employer's insurance carrier, though there are exceptions. An attorney can advise you on your specific rights regarding medical treatment.
Will I have to go to court for my workers compensation case?
Many workers compensation cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement without a formal hearing. However, if the employer or insurer disputes your claim, a hearing before a workers compensation judge may be necessary.
Does the office handle Social Security Disability claims as well?
The listed practice area for this office is workers compensation law. If you are also pursuing Social Security Disability benefits, it would be worth asking during your initial consultation whether that is something the attorney can assist with or refer you to.
