Tennessee Workers’ Compensation Act provides special protections to injured workers but, these benefits can be waived if not exercised. It is often difficult to exercise rights under the act when you are unaware of them. Generally speaking, if you are injured on the job in Tennessee, you are entitled to medical benefits, temporary disability payments, permanent injury settlements, death benefits and funeral benefits.

Recent changes in the Workers’ Compensation Act limits the recoveries available to injured workers and you need to understand all benefits that are applicable to your case.

Injuries on the job include loss of vision, loss of limbs, loss of mobility, fractures, strains, death, brain injuries, neurological and burns.
