I have been asked several times over the years what’s my best advice for getting the most out of a Tennessee workers’ compensation claim. While there are many important parts involved in handling a work comp. claim, and every claim is different, at the top of my list would be – don’t delay.
If an employee has been injured on the job, they should immediately report the injury. Under Tennessee law, you have thirty (30) days to report the injury. The names and contact information of any witnesses should be obtained right away. If medical treatment or temporary disability payments are not being made, these issues should immediately be discussed with the workers’ compensation insurance company or the Tennessee Department of Labor, Workers’ Compensation Division.
Over the years, I have seen delays cost injured workers money. If you have been hurt at work and want a free case evaluation with an attorney, we would like to speak with you as soon as possible. You can reach Attorney Cody Allison & Associates / The Work Comp. Team at (615) 234-6000. You can also e-mail us at cody@codyallison.com.
