If you’ve been hurt on the job, you need to know your rights. Don’t take your employers’ word for it. Don’t take the insurance companies’ word for it. Don’t take your brother-in-laws’ word for it. Talk to a lawyer. At Bill Hotz and Associates, we have more than 60 years combined experience in representing and helping people who have been hurt at work. Workers’ compensation law in Tennessee is complex and it can be tricky. If you suffer a serious on-the-job injury, it may effect you for the rest of your life. And if you accept an inadequate, unfair settlement for your injury, that too may effect you for the rest of your life.

If you let your employer or their insurance company pick your doctor, pick your treatment, pick your job restrictions and pick the terms of your settlement...you might find that they have picked your pocket. It never hurts to know where you stand. You can bet that the insurance company knows their rights. Shouldn’t you know yours? Don’t EVER agree to a settlement without talking to a lawyer.

If you’ve been hurt on the job, call Bill Hotz and Associates at 865.637.9000 or send us an email. Consultations are, of course, always free. Who knows how much one phone call or e-mail could save you?
