Chattanooga Workers Compensation Attorneys

  • Serious workplace injuries. Some workplace injuries require months of rehabilitation and may forever leave the victim unable to perform the same type of work. Adequate compensation for serious workplace injuries requires extensive documentation and strict adherence to filing requirements.
  • Construction accidents. Construction worksites can be extremely dangerous for employees, especially when employers fail to meet minimum safety standards and regulations. These accidents often require surgery or other serious treatments, for which the employer may attempt to deny payment.
  • Industrial accidents. Like construction sites, industrial work environments are also filled with hazardous conditions. Industrial employees are commonly injured by chemical exposure, severe burns, eye injuries and muscular overexertion.
  • Long term effects of workplace injuries. It is not uncommon for the full severity of a workplace injury to go undetected until sometime after the initial accident. The injured party may later develop chronic back injuries or experience some form of nerve damage, such as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). You should tell your employer right away if you suspect your chronic injury or illness is related to your work.
