Workers Compensation:

Laws passed by the state require that your employer, or your insurance company, compensate you, or your family, for injuries or death that may occur while you are working.  You may be entitled to:

• Weekly benefits while you are temporarily totally disabled and unable to work

• Payment of your medical expenses

• Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total disability resulting from a work related injury

What Should I Do If I Am Injured?

You should report the injury immediately to your employer.  If you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance carrier, as to what benefits or medical expense payments you are entitled to, you can file your claim with the Mississippi Workers Compensation Commission.

If you are in need of legal assistance, call THE LAW OFFICES OF GREGORY W. HARBISON at (662) 840-7111 or our toll free number 1-877-428-2529 or submit an online questionnaire.  The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds.  In many cases, a Petition to Controvert must be filed before the statute of limitations runs.  There is a two year stature of limitations in a Mississippi Workers Compensation claim from the date of your injury.  Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
