What should I do if I am injured at work?
You should report your injury immediately to your employer. If you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance carrier as to what benefits or medical expense payment you are entitled to, you can file your claim with the Tennessee Benefit review Board.
While it is not required that an attorney represent you to file your workers compensation claim, the law and procedure for work-related injuries can be very difficult to understand. Many times, the benefits that you may be entitled to are slow to be paid until you hire an attorney. Your employer and/or your employer's insurance company will have access to an attorney to represent them.
What are my attorney fees?
Attorney fees in workers' compensation cases are based on a percentage of any amounts recovered and are contingent on your receiving an award or settlement. When you meet with us we will give you a written contract and advise you of the fee agreement. At James R. Omer & Associates , we do not receive any fee if you do not receive a recovery.
If you or one of your loved ones has been injured while working, let our Tennessee workers' compensation attorneys help you get the settlement you deserve. We fight and work for you - not for the insurance companies.
