Mississippi Workers Compensation

When you are injured on the job, obtaining workers compensation for your injuries can be extremely difficult in Mississippi. Even with strict, and often unrealistically low limits on the amount an injured worker can receive by law, insurance companies and businesses seek to pay as little as possible.

When dealing with insurance companies, it is critical to understand their motivation. Businesses and insurance companies want to pay the minimum amount on each claim. To this end, they may employ tactics that draw out the process, challenging the validity of your claim, and resisting payment until you accept what is offered. An experienced attorney can help you fight for your rights.

At Morris, Sakalarios and Blackwell, our workers’ compensation attorneys know better. They are skilled at successfully moving claims through the administrative process to obtain maximum compensation. With more than 26 years experience in representing victims of on the job accidents including machinery accidents, we know how to deal with insurance companies and businesses to help you receive the greatest amount allowed by law.

Mississippi Workers Compensation Caps

In most cases, the upper limit an employer is required to pay an injured worker is just over $330.00 per week. For most families, this amount will not even cover basic household expenses, much less medical necessities. In the state, limits on compensation are set for almost every type of injury.

When you have suffered a back injury, brain injury, spine injury or other serious injury, you may require medical care far into the future, including rehabilitative care and home care. You may never be able to return to the work you did, and need to seek alternative sources of income.

It is critical to consult an attorney in this case. In addition to recovering the full amount for your injuries, we investigate each claim thoroughly. If a defective product contributed to your accident, the manufacturer of the part or the product may also be held liable for your injury under Product Liability law. If the workplace property was not maintained properly, premises liability may come into play.
