Internal Injuries

Ridgeland workers’ compensation lawyer

Some workplace accidents leave workers with very serious internal injuries. They can be out of work for long periods of time while they recover from their on-the-job injuries, left unable to earn a living as their medical expenses keep adding up. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney at Tabor Law Firm, P.A. can fight to get them the benefits they deserve.

Internal injuries can occur in accidents at any type of workplace. They can happen after a car or truck crash, a slip and fall accident or from being struck by an object. Injuries can also occur from penetrating trauma – when an object pierces the skin and enters the body. Or it can be the result of blunt trauma from the impact of being struck by an object.

These injuries are especially dangerous because they can go unnoticed for hours or even days following an accident. For example, there could be internal bleeding, but the person injured may feel fine for some time. That’s why it’s so important to get medical attention after a workplace accident.

Trauma from a workplace accident can injure the heart, lungs, brain and other vital, internal organs. Treatment can involve surgery, hospitalization, therapy and medication. Recovery may take months, leaving families with no money coming in as medical expenses rise. Some workers may be left with a permanent disability.

We get results

The workers’ compensation system in Mississippi is supposed to help injured workers get the benefits they need to help them make ends meet during their recovery. But the process can be complicated. Claims can be denied. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side.

Employers and insurance companies often have lawyers looking out for their best interests. You need a lawyer who will fight for what’s best for you. Workers’ compensation attorney Jonathan Tabor has years of experience handling workers’ compensation claims in Ridgeland, Jackson and beyond. He knows what it takes to build a successful case for benefits.

Our law firm can help you navigate the claims process from start to finish. If an employer challenges your claim, or treatment for an injury is denied by the insurance company, we can provide aggressive representation at every step of the appeals process. We know how to gather evidence to build a strong case that proves you should be receiving benefits.

We demand justice

Insurance companies often resist paying workers’ compensation claims involving internal injuries. That’s because there’s a lot of money at stake. The more money they pay out in claims, the less money they make. They may challenge the extent of your injuries, or whether treatment recommended by your doctor is necessary.

That’s not acceptable. We will fight to help you get the full amount of benefits you need and deserve while you recover from your injuries. We are skilled negotiators and can sometimes negotiate a settlement of your claim that meets your needs. But if the insurance company won’t negotiate, we will go to court, where we have won many awards for clients.
