Workers' Compensation
Tennessee law requires you to report a workplace injury within 30 days of
the accident. Tenn. Code Ann 50-6-201. Injuries covered by workers'
compensation law include not only injuries from an accident, but also injuries
caused by exposure to the industrial environment as well as repetitive
injuries.
If you have a compensable work-related injury, you may be entitled to
receive payment for your medical expenses, compensation for time missed
from work, payment for any resulting disability, as well as medical benefits
for the rest of your life.
Insurance companies may make you a settlement offer that is not in your best
interest. Before you accept any settlement and sign your rights away, please
consult with an attorney.
