Tennessee Work Injury Lawyer
Tennessee workers' compensation is a system of laws intended to protect injured workers. If you are injured or suffer an occupational illness, you are entitled to free medical care, 66 and two-thirds percent of your average weekly wage while you are unable to work and you may be entitled to other benefits as well. After you reach maximum medical improvement, you are entitled to a vocational disability payment if you suffer a permanent disability.
At the law office of Ralph Brown & Associates in Knoxville, our attorneys help injured workers receive all of the benefits they deserve under our state's workers' compensation laws. If you were injured on the job, we offer a free initial consultation to answer your questions. You have limited time to seek the benefits you are entitled to under the law, so please call today and set your appointment with one of our experienced attorneys. If you delay, you may no longer have a claim to pursue at all.
Former Workers' Compensation Specialist
Andrew J. Roberto, one of our experienced lawyers and a partner at Ralph Brown & Associates, served as a workers' compensation specialist with the Tennessee Department of Labor for almost four years. As a specialist, Mr. Roberto mediated disputes between injured workers and their employers, presided over settlement approvals, and issued orders compelling benefits for injured workers. Mr. Roberto has worked on countless workers' compensation claims and has even ordered insurance companies to pay benefits to injured workers just like you.
Workers' compensation benefits include:
- Medical, surgical and hospital services
- Mileage reimbursement for medical-related travel
- Dental services
- Hearing aids
- Weekly checks to cover your inability to work
- Prescription drugs
- Among other benefits
The insurance companies that handle workers' claims have an incentive to minimize the amount of benefits you receive. The adjusters may act like they are helping you, but don't be fooled, they want to limit your recovery. To protect your right to all of the workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to, you should talk to an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Workers' compensation laws have changed dramatically over the last several years, so don't jeopardize your claim ... call our experienced attorneys today!
