Workers give a lot to their employers. By some estimates, the average American will spend 30% of their lives at work, assuming they don’t continue to work into retirement age. Because of that commitment, we expect our employers to treat us well, pay a fair wage, and take care of us if our job duties result in injury. Unfortunately, many Nashville workers are discovering it difficult to secure the benefits they deserve after a workplace accident.
In Tennessee, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to protect their workers who are injured on the job. These benefits help injured workers get the medical treatment they need, as well as secure partial lost wages while they are out of work. Although no worker is going to get rich off of workers’ comp benefits, they can be the difference between a family making ends meet and suffering a financial crisis. However, securing benefits without an experienced lawyer on your side may prove to be difficult.
At Ponce Law, we help Nashville injured workers and their families get the workers’ compensation benefits they deserve. If you’ve been injured on the job, call our Nashville workers’ compensation attorneys for a free evaluation of your claim. We’re ready to help, so call today.
