In Tennessee, a worker’s compensation settlement is determined based on several factors. One factor is your injury and final diagnosis. When you reach maximum medical improvement, your treating physician may assign an impairment rating. If you’ve suffered a permanent injury or have permanent restrictions, such as bending or lifting, your average weekly wage for the prior 52 weeks also plays a role in your settlement offer. At NSC Law, we are able to review the impairment rating assigned by your treating physician. If your assigned rating is not fair, you may be able to seek a second opinion or independent medical examination.
When we represent injured workers, our main goal is to make sure all benefits are properly paid out and that our client receives all compensation to which they are legally entitled. For a free consultation on your claim, please call us at 1-800-529-4004.
