Questions About Workers' Compensation
What should I do right after a workplace injury?
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and get medical care. Keep copies of your reports, medical records and any letters about your claim.
What if my workers' compensation claim is denied?
A denial is not always the final word. We can review the reasons given and explain the options available to you under Tennessee law.
Does workers' compensation cover illnesses as well as injuries?
It can. Occupational diseases, meaning conditions caused by the work you do or the environment you work in, may be covered. We can review the details of your situation.
