Knoxville Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
If you have been injured on the job or if one of your employees has been injured on the job, you need to take quick action to understand and protect your legal rights. We work on behalf of employees, employers and insurance companies in different workers’ compensation claim cases.
- If your claim has been denied, delayed or diminished, we can help you pursue the compensation to which you are entitled. Many legitimate claims are initially denied.
- As an insurance company representative or as an employer, if you suspect a claim might be false or exaggerated, we can provide the legal advice and assistance you need. We will help contain costs and protect your assets in a variety of situations, including retaliation claims and claims before state commissions.

Combined with our law firm’s more than 85 years of legal service, we have the resources and the talented attorneys to provide you with exceptional legal guidance.
