Workers Compensation Attorney Protecting Mississippi Workers
If you are injured or become ill at your workplace or a work-related activity, you may be eligible for workers compensation — regardless of whether the injury or illness occurred in connection with your job.

Waiving workers compensation
Accepting workers compensation limits your rights to other remedies against a negligent employer. A personal injury claim can include compensation for general damages and pain and suffering, whereas a workers compensation claim cannot.

Appealing workers compensation decisions
If your workers compensation claim is denied, you have a limited time to appeal the decision. I can assist you in successfully maneuvering through the complex bureaucratic process of appealing to the Mississippi workers compensation board.
