Southaven, MS Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
At TNT LAW, we help people in Southaven and throughout Mississippi who have been injured on the job and need guidance through the workers’ compensation process. Led by our managing attorney, Seth Thompson, our law firm is committed to protecting injured workers and making sure they receive the medical care, wage benefits, and support they are entitled to under Mississippi law. We understand how overwhelming it can be after a workplace injury—especially when you’re in pain, unable to work, and suddenly facing pressure from your employer or the insurance company. Our goal is to step in, take on the legal and administrative burdens, and help you move forward with confidence.
Workers’ compensation in Mississippi is designed to provide benefits to employees injured on the job, regardless of fault. However, that does not mean the process is easy. Insurance companies often try to minimize claims, delay treatment approvals, or reduce the amount of lost wage benefits paid. You may begin to feel like no one is looking out for you. That is where we step in. We know how to push back, gather evidence, speak to doctors, and negotiate with adjusters to protect your rights.
Understanding Your Workers’ Compensation Benefits
If you were injured on the job in Southaven, you may be entitled to several key benefits, including:
Medical Treatment
Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance is required to cover all reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to your injury. This includes:
Doctor visits
Specialist care
Hospital stays
Surgery
Physical therapy
Prescription medication
Medical equipment, such as braces or crutches
It’s important to report your injury as soon as possible and get medical attention promptly. Early documentation is critical to your claim.
Temporary Disability Benefits
If you cannot work due to your injury, you may qualify for weekly wage replacement benefits. These benefits are typically two-thirds of your average weekly pay, up to a state maximum. These benefits continue while you are unable to work and receiving treatment.
Permanent Disability Benefits
Some injuries result in long-term or permanent physical limitations. If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job or reduces your ability to earn income, you may be entitled to permanent disability benefits. We help ensure your disability rating is fair and accurately reflects the extent of your injury.
Mileage Reimbursement
Travel to medical appointments should be reimbursed. Many workers are unaware of this benefit and leave money unclaimed.

Why Workers’ Comp Claims Are Denied or Delayed
Many injured workers are surprised when their claims are denied, delayed, or questioned. Common reasons include:
The employer disputes the injury happened at work
The insurance company claims the injury is pre-existing
There is a lack of documentation or medical evidence
The worker waited too long to report the injury
The doctor’s notes do not clearly explain work restrictions
We help you strengthen your claim by working closely with your medical providers, gathering statements, and ensuring the documentation is clear and complete.
