Tennessee Nurses - denied claim

If you're a Tennessee nurse, there is good news if your claim has been denied by your employer.  You can fight the denial. 

Unfortunately, many valid claims are denied each year.  You were injured while doing your job and the employer tries to make you feel like it is your fault.  This is not uncommon.  Don't allow your employer to make you feel like you have done something wrong, get an attorney on your side who handles workers' compensation cases.

Remember, you need to report your claim right away.  If you don't report your injury within thirty (30) days your claim can be denied.  A nursing job, whether in a hospital or special care facility, can be hectic.  Sometimes this means that the injured employee (nurse) will put their own well-being on hold to take care of a patient.  When injured, nurses should report their injury as soon as possible, in order to make sure proper notice is given. 
At Cody Allison & Associates / The Work Comp Team (615) 234-6000 we handle denied nursing claims.  We have a great deal of experience with even the most difficult claims.
