Middle Tennessee Job Loses Impact Injured Workers

Three Nashville area employers recently announced they were laying off employees. Peterbilt Motors Co. in Madison, Tennessee laid off 390 administrative personnel on April 8, 2009. Expo Design Center at the 100 Oaks Mall will begin laying off 82 employees on April 20. The store is closing and has recently been liquidating its inventory. In Lebanon, Tennessee, TRW Automotive U.S. LLC laid off 55 employees between April 8 and April 10, 2009.

Employees who have previously received a Workers' Compensation settlement or judgment award may be entitled to additional compensation for their injuries when they are laid off. It is important for all such employees who find themselves laid off, from these or any other employer, to contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney to determine whether they might be entitled to reconsideration of their prior awards for additional compensation.




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.
