Top Vicksburg, MS Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

What If Someone Else Caused Your Injury?

In some cases, a workplace injury is caused by someone other than your employer. Maybe you were injured by a defective machine, a careless subcontractor, or a reckless driver while on the job. When that happens, you might have a third-party personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ comp case.

We handle those, too. We’ll evaluate every angle of your situation to make sure you’re not leaving any money on the table.

Temporary vs. Permanent Disability Benefits

Depending on the seriousness of your injury, you may be eligible for different types of benefits:

• Temporary Total Disability (TTD): If you can’t work at all for a while, you’ll receive a portion of your wages.

• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): If you return to work with reduced hours or pay, you may get a benefit to cover part of the difference.

• Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): If you’ve lost some function in a body part but can still work, you might qualify for a lump sum payment.

• Permanent Total Disability (PTD): If you’re permanently unable to work, you could receive long-term benefits.

Mississippi workers’ compensation has a schedule of injuries that determines how long benefits last and how much you can receive. We’ll break it down for you and make sure you’re getting what you’re owed.

How Long Do Workers’ Compensation Benefits Last?

It depends on the type of benefits. Temporary disability benefits can continue until your doctor says you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI)—meaning your condition is unlikely to improve further. That can take weeks, months, or longer.

If you have a permanent impairment, benefits can continue for a set number of weeks based on which body part was affected. We’ll explain the timelines and fight to make sure you’re not cut off early.

What Happens If Your Claim Is Denied?

Don’t panic if your claim is denied. You have the right to appeal, and we’ll walk you through every step. In Mississippi, your appeal goes through the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission in Jackson. We prepare your case, gather evidence, and represent you in hearings to get the decision overturned.

The clock starts ticking fast after a denial, so don’t wait—call us as soon as possible.
