Top Mendenhall, MS Workers’ Compensation Attorney
A workplace injury can leave you dealing with far more than the physical effects of an accident.

At TNT LAW, we represent people injured at work throughout Mississippi. Led by managing attorney Seth Thompson, our personal injury attorneys help injured employees understand their rights and navigate the workers' compensation process. If you need a Mendenhall, MS workers' compensation attorney, we can help you understand your options and the benefits that may be available after a workplace injury.
What To Do After a Workplace Injury
What you do immediately following an accident can affect your workers' compensation claim. Start by reporting the injury to your employer or supervisor as soon as possible. Even if the injury does not initially seem serious, reporting it creates a record of the accident.
Mississippi generally requires notice of a workplace injury within 30 days. The law includes exceptions in certain circumstances, including situations where the employer already knew about the injury and was not prejudiced by the lack of notice.
You should also seek appropriate medical attention. Tell the healthcare provider that your injury occurred at work and describe how the accident happened. Keep copies of medical records, prescriptions, work restrictions, bills, and other documents related to your injury.

Workers' Compensation Benefits in Mississippi
Workers' compensation may provide several types of benefits to an employee who suffers a compensable workplace injury. Medical benefits can cover reasonable and necessary treatment related to the injury, while disability benefits may be available when an employee cannot work or has limitations that affect their ability to earn wages.
The specific benefits available depend on the facts of the claim, including the nature of the injury, your earnings, your medical condition, and your ability to return to work.
Mississippi law provides for medical, surgical, hospital, and other treatment as the nature of the injury or recovery process requires. It also contains specific rules concerning physician selection and referrals.
Our attorneys can review your circumstances and help you understand how the workers' compensation system may apply to your injury.
