Mississippi Lawyer Helping you Recover for Your Work-Related Injury
By law, your employer carries a duty to provide you with benefits if you were injured while working on the job. Unfortunately, your employer's insurance company may not always look out for your best interests.

Insurance Companies Don't Tell You Everything
When injured on the job, your employer's insurance company will most likely attempt to settle, deny, or delay paying your workers' compensation claim. Sometimes they even fail to inform you of certain rights. Common examples include the following:
1. You have the right to choose your own doctor. Some insurance companies tell employees seeking worker's compensation benefits that their claim will only be ratified if they seek assistance from a particular doctor. This is not true; you can pick your own doctor. I can help you work with a doctor of your choice or help you find a doctor.
2. Mileage reimbursement. Many insurance companies won't tell you that you have the right to recover mileage reimbursement for trips relating to your injury. You can. You have a right to recover for back and forth visits to your doctors, pharmacists, or therapists.
I have dealt with insurance companies for many years. As your attorney I will make sure you are informed of all of your rights and benefits and help make sure you obtain the largest compensation possible for your injuries.
Clearing up Common Misconceptions About Recovering Workers' Compensation Benefits
There are many misconceptions surrounding workers' compensation law. Some people think certain injuries are not covered. Psychiatric injuries, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, are common examples. This is simply not true. Others may think that if they hire an attorney their employer will fire or retaliate against them. This is not true and actually against the law. I am here to clear up these types of misconceptions. For over 26 years I have handled workers' compensation claims. I know the law.
I invite you to contact me further to discuss your case. I will be happy to answer your questions and clear up any additional misconceptions or fears.
