IF YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER HAVE HAD A PAST WORK RELATED INJURY IN WHICH WORKERS COMPENSATION WAS PAID, YOU MAY BE DUE ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION.

Tennessee Workers Compensation Laws provide that, if an employee receives a Workers Compensation settlement or judgment and the employer has returned the employee to work, the amount of the settlement or judgment is limited. Thereafter, if the employee loses their job for any reason including PLANT CLOSINGS, the employee may be entitled to have the previous award enlarged.
