Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Cases
When you have been hurt at work, the attorneys at Farese, Farese, & Farese can help. Since 1939, we have served injured workers throughout west Tennessee and north Mississippi — helping them get the compensation they deserve after an injury on the job.
The workers’ compensation laws (often called workmans’ comp laws) vary from state to state and can be very complex. Often, workers are hired in one state but hurt in another. In that case, the injured worker may choose which state’s workers compensation law will provide the most benefits. At Farese, Farese, & Farese, we work to create a strategy that gets results after a workplace accident.
If you need help filing a workers’ compensation claim, or if your claim has been denied or suspended and you are considering pursuing your worker’s compensation claim further, you can turn to us for in-depth legal advice. But on-the-job injuries are not always a workers’ compensation issue. Sometimes lawsuits can be brought against third parties who cause the injury of workers, such as in a motor vehicle accident case. Other injuries may result in claims against the manufacturers of defective manufacturing products or machines or against sub-contractors on the job site. A good attorney knows what needs to be done and when. Failure to follow proper procedure or give proper notice of a claim can result in an injured worker not getting all the benefits the law provides.
