You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

After a work injury, many people worry about:

• How they’ll pay their bills
• Whether they’ll be able to return to work
• Whether their employer or insurance company will treat them fairly
• What happens if their claim is delayed or denied

The workers’ compensation system is supposed to protect you—but in reality, it can be confusing, slow, and frustrating. We help make sure your rights are protected from day one.

What To Do After a Work Injury in Mississippi

Taking the right steps early can make a big difference in your claim:

1. Report the injury immediately to your supervisor or employer, ideally within 24 hours
2. Get medical treatment as soon as possible
3. Make sure an injury report is filed, your employer must notify their insurance company, and the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission
4. Follow your doctor’s instructions and keep records
5. Be cautious with insurance adjusters and paperwork
6. Talk to a lawyer before signing anything

In most cases, Mississippi law gives you two years to pursue a workers’ compensation claim—but waiting can hurt your case and your benefits.

Workers’ Compensation vs. A Personal Injury Case

Most work injuries are handled through workers’ compensation, which can provide:

• Medical treatment
• A portion of lost wages
• Disability benefits

However, workers’ comp does not cover pain and suffering, and it does not always pay full wages.

In some situations, you may also have a separate personal injury claim, such as when:

• A third party caused the accident (not your employer)
• Faulty equipment or machinery caused your injury
• A negligent driver caused a work-related crash
• A loved one was killed in a workplace accident

We look at every angle to make sure you are not leaving compensation on the table.

When a Personal Injury Lawsuit May Also Be an Option

Workers’ compensation covers many on-the-job injuries, but it does not cover every situation — and it does not always fully compensate you for what you’ve lost.

In some cases, you may also be able to file a separate personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ comp case.

This may apply if:

• A third party (such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or driver) caused or contributed to your injury
• Defective or unsafe equipment or machinery played a role in the accident
• Your employer or another company’s negligence created an unsafe work environment
• A loved one was killed in a workplace accident, and you may have a wrongful death claim

Unlike workers’ compensation, a personal injury lawsuit may allow you to pursue:

• Full lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of quality of life
• Other damages not available through workers’ comp

You Pay Nothing Unless We Help You Win

We handle work injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means:

• No upfront fees
• No hourly billing
• No cost unless we recover benefits or compensation for you
