You work hard for your money—so will we
In Tennessee, you are not required to prove that your injury was your employer’s fault to be compensated. There are three types of workers compensation benefits:
- Medical benefits–Paid to the health care providers who treat the work-related injury
- Temporary benefits–Paid to an employee who is temporarily unable to work during their recovery from a work-related injury
- Permanent benefits–Paid to an employee who is permanently impaired due to a work-related injury. An employee may be entitled to permanent benefits even if they are able to return to work.
Temporary and permanent benefits are based on a percentage of your average weekly wages. Permanent benefits also depend on the type of injury and the disability it causes.
