Workers' Compensation

Your job is often the only thing keeping you and your family afloat in these troubled economic times. If you can't work because of an accident or injury, how will you pay your bills?

What happens if...

• You are injured in an accident at work

• Your health is getting worse because of the dust and fumes in the factory

• Your back pain gets worse every day you spend on the downtown Nashville construction site

• Your health is getting worse and you feel overwhelmed by the stresses of your trucking route, or you are injured in a trucking accident

• You are hurt because of unsafe working conditions and have to leave your job at a Middle Tennessee auto plant

 
Workers compensation insurance was developed with just these situations in mind. Work-related injuries are so common that all Tennessee construction employers and all companies with five or more employees are required to keep workers' compensation insurance. Workers compensation covers most work-related injuries, even if you are injured while on a break, but many injured workers still don't receive adequate compensation.

With offices located in Nashville and Lebanon and serving the surrounding areas, the attorneys at Williams Law Group know how hard you work, so they work hard to make sure you get the settlement you deserve.

If you are injured at a union job, Williams Law Group will be proud to work with your union to make sure you get the best settlement from your employer.

The law is a guide for determining who deserves compensation, what kind, and how much. But the law is complicated, and if you settle your Tennessee injury case without the guidance of a lawyer, you may not get the best compensation package.

Williams Law Group isn't a big-box law firm. We've set the standard in Middle Tennessee through two decades because our attorneys get to know their clients as individuals. They'll give you the facts about your injury case and help you understand how you can be compensated. 

Workers compensation can cover...

• medical expenses including immediate emergency care and ongoing medical care for your injury
• lost wages
• decreased earning potential
• coverage for dependents if a loved one dies from a work-related injury

Tennessee Workers' Compensation Laws entitle individuals injured on the job to compensation for their medical expenses and other losses. The lawyers at Williams Law Group are the best at what they do, and they focus on what they do best. Let one of our knowledgeable and approachable attorneys guide you to a successful settlement.

Compensation may be awarded in the form of...

• a lump-sum payment
•  temporary partial disability if your doctor says you can't work for a certain period of time
•  permanent disability if you are permanently injured

If you are permanently injured, you are eligible for benefits that make up for your lost wages until you qualify for Social Security.

If you were working in Middle Tennessee when:

• You were physically injured by an accident at work or by unsafe working conditions

• Your preexisting health condition was made worse by working conditions

• Work-related stress caused you major physical or mental strain

•  Your loved one died in a work-related accident
