Worker's Compensation Lawyers in Knoxville, Tennessee

Worker's compensation cases in Tennessee include individuals who are injured while at work or on the job-yet many do not receive the full worker's compensation they deserve. Individuals who are injured at work are eligible to receive benefits regardless of who was at fault in the injury. There are three types of benefits in these cases:

• Medical Benefits include payment of all medical expenses for treatment with an authorized doctor.

• Temporary disability payments provide weekly worker's compensation until the injured worker can return to work, or reaches maximum recovery.

• Permanent disability payments provide compensation for injuries that cause permanent disability.

Many workers receive medical benefits and temporary disability payments without the help of experienced worker's compensation lawyers. Oftentimes, however, they are entitled to far more in permanent disability payments than they are offered. It is therefore recommended that an injured worker never settle his permanent disability claim without at least consulting an experienced worker's compensation lawyer. The workers compensation lawyers at Ralph Brown and Associates have experience with workers' compensation lawsuits in Knoxville, Tennessee. Contact our worker's compensation lawyers today!

Car Accident Lawyers in Knoxville, Tennessee

Auto accident cases deal with insurance adjustors, which mean they can be time consuming and extremely frustrating. Typically, when another person is at fault in causing a car accident, their insurance company will try to settle with the injured party quickly. However, they often try to settle property damage for substantially less than the value of the vehicle and also try to settle personal injury claims before the full extent of a victim's injuries are realized. Once settled, the auto accident case cannot be re-opened.

Defective Product Lawyers in Knoxville, Tennessee

Defective product, or product liability, cases involve people who are injured by products they use. Unfortunately, victims often do not realize they have a valid and valuable claim. For example, people are sometimes injured by machines or equipment at work and do not realize they have a defective product claim in addition to their worker's compensation claim. Sometimes injuries in auto accident cases are worsened by inadequate safety design or mechanisms in the vehicle. Many medicines and medical devices can cause personal injury, even when properly used, as a result of inadequate warnings or defective designs by manufacturers. (Sometimes, however, it turns out that the medicine or medical device was not properly used by the doctor or properly dispensed by the pharmacy. In these cases, a medical malpractice claim should also be considered. Product manufacturers are responsible for injuries caused by deficiencies in the design or manufacturing of their products. Because injured victims are entitled to benefits, anyone who sustains serious personal injuries from an auto or any other defective product should obtain a free consultation from a defective product attorney to evaluate their rights. Contact the defective product lawyers at Ralph Brown and Associates in Knoxville, Tennessee for more information on product liability and defective product lawsuits.
