Do You Qualify for Workers Compensation?

If you are wondering whether or not you qualify for workers compensation, the likely answer to this is yes. However, there are a few exceptions that may apply, such as:

• You work as an independent contractor.
• You are a volunteer or apprentice.
• You work on a farm that has less than six employees in a 20 day period.
• You work for the federal government.

If the above do not apply to you, workers compensation benefits may be available. If by chance one of these things is applicable to your situation, you may want to consult a lawyer to find out whether there are alternative options – usually there are.

Can You Receive Workers Comp Benefits?

Even if you are eligible for workers comp, it doesn’t mean you can receive it. For example, not all injuries or illnesses will be covered. In order to receive your benefits, the following should be applicable to your situation:

• Your employer is mandated for workers comp
• You were injured or became ill while working, or as a result of your job duty
• You notified your employer about your injury, and within 30 days
• You sought treatment at a doctor
• You have a medical report that details what happened
• You were not intoxicated at the time of the accident

If you don’t know whether these things are true, you can discuss them with a workers compensation lawyer in Tennessee.
