When you’re injured at work, you may suddenly find yourself unable to earn a paycheck, facing costly medical bills, and unsure of your next steps. That’s where we come in. Our Tupelo workers’ comp lawyers help ensure you receive proper medical care, wage replacement benefits, and the full protection of the law.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Mississippi
Mississippi law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. This coverage provides benefits for medical treatment, wage loss, and rehabilitation if you are injured while performing job-related duties. It also applies to occupational illnesses that develop over time due to workplace conditions.
However, workers’ compensation isn’t always simple. Insurance companies often try to minimize or deny claims, leaving injured workers frustrated and struggling to get the care they need. Our role is to level the playing field. We help you understand your rights, file a complete claim, and appeal wrongful denials.
Common Workplace Injuries We Handle
No matter where you work—whether in manufacturing, healthcare, construction, retail, or an office—accidents can happen. We’ve represented clients with injuries including:
Back and neck injuries from lifting or falls
Repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
Broken bones or fractures
Knee, shoulder, and joint injuries
Burns or chemical exposure
Head and traumatic brain injuries
Crush injuries from machinery or heavy equipment
Occupational diseases from toxic exposure
We understand that every case is different. Some workers can return to their jobs after a few weeks, while others face permanent disability that changes their future. Our attorneys work to ensure you receive benefits that reflect the true extent of your injury.

What Benefits Are Available?
Workers’ compensation in Mississippi typically provides three main categories of benefits:
Medical Benefits: Covers all necessary and reasonable medical treatment related to your injury, including doctor visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and prescriptions.
Wage Loss Benefits: Provides income replacement while you’re unable to work. Depending on your disability, this could include temporary total disability (TTD), temporary partial disability (TPD), or permanent disability benefits.
Vocational Rehabilitation: Helps you train for a new job or adjust your work duties if you’re unable to return to your previous position.
We help clients calculate what benefits they should be receiving and ensure those payments are made correctly and on time.
Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury
If you’ve been injured at work in Tupelo, it’s crucial to act quickly to protect your right to compensation. Follow these steps:
Report your injury immediately to your employer or supervisor. Mississippi law requires that you notify your employer within 30 days.
Seek medical treatment from an approved physician and follow all care instructions.
Document everything—keep copies of medical reports, accident details, and correspondence with your employer or insurance company.
Contact a workers’ compensation lawyer if your claim is denied, delayed, or undervalued.
Our team at TNT LAW can step in to communicate with the insurance company, gather medical evidence, and represent you in hearings before the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission if necessary.
