Jackson Workers Compensation Attorney

Get what you deserve

Have you been injured on the job?  Are your medical expenses piling up? If you are suffering from mental or physical pain or financial loss due to an injury or disability received in the workplace, you may be entitled to collect money as a result of time lost from work and medical bills.  

You may think your company will take care of you.  But at Percival Law Office, PC we will take care of you because we understand Tennessee workers compensation laws.  We can help determine if you have money owed to you as a result of a workers compensation claim:

• Money for medical treatment
• Temporary disability earnings while away from the job
• Compensation for permanent work injury
• Death benefits
• Disability expenses

Know your legal rights

The Tennessee workers compensation system is considered no fault, meaning that the employee can receive medical and compensation benefits regardless of who caused the accident in most cases.  Almost every employee in the state is covered by the workers compensation act.  Benefits must be paid either by the employer or through its insurance company.

You may be entitled to provisions such as disability insurance, compensation for past and future economic loss and/or reimbursement for medical expenses.  If the jackson workers comp claim is the result of a loved one's death, dependents can receive benefits up to 50 percent of the deceased employee's average weekly wages.

Do not wait to file your claim.  Tennessee law contains time limits called statutes of limitation for reporting an injury or disease to the employer and for filing a complaint for benefits.

Legal representation to help you through your difficult time

You may think your company is on your side, but often times your employer is not your advocate. If you are injured in Tennessee, you are permitted to represent yourself in a workers compensation case, just as in any other Tennessee legal proceeding.  However, if you do not have a solid knowledge of Tennessee workers compensation law and the Rules of Evidence and you attempt to negotiate an out-of-court settlement, you may be putting yourself at risk.
