Jackson, Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

According to the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission, there are instances when “the assistance of an attorney can be invaluable” in resolving a workers’ compensation claim. When you need a workers’ compensation attorney to help ensure that you and your family receive all the benefits you deserve, contact the lawyers at Rundlett Law Firm.

Your Rights under the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation System

In Mississippi, workers’ compensation (often referred to as workers’ comp or workmans comp) covers any injury that occurs in the scope of employment, including work related diseases and work related accidents that result in death. Workers’ compensation benefits cover your medical treatment, mileage to and from doctor visits, lost wages, and in the case of death, a portion of the funeral expenses.

If you are injured at work, you have the right to select the physician or medical provider who will treat you. In addition, you are entitled to a maximum of 450 weeks of compensation at a maximum of two-thirds of your regular weekly pay rate.

Your employer's insurance company will handle all workers' compensation claims. However, they are under enormous pressure to limit the total amount they have to pay on claims. While the state Workers’ Compensation Commission oversees consistent application of the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Law, they require a significant amount of paperwork. The attorneys at Rundlett Law Firm will examine your settlement offer, properly apply state guidelines, and advise you on whether you are maximizing your Mississippi workers’ compensation benefits.

Our attorneys strive to ensure that you and your family receive maximum compensation for your work related injuries. If a work related personal injury is caused by a third party (someone other than your employer, such as an equipment manufacturer or a contractor), we can help you pursue a personal injury claim against the person who caused your work injury in addition to your workers' compensation claim.
