Mississippi Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Richard Schwartz & Associates Will Take Care of You & Your Claim

Mississippi workers’ compensation laws require that certain benefits are paid to individuals injured at work. When employers and insurance companies try to deny these benefits, the workers’ compensation lawyers at Richard Schwartz & Associates can help. Our attorneys understand Mississippi workers’ compensation laws and will fight for you.

When you or your loved one is hurt on the job, Mississippi law requires certain benefits be paid. Despite the law, many employers and insurance companies will try to deny claims or pay as little as possible. Employers and insurance companies have the upper hand, unless you hire an experienced firm to handle your case.

Our Mississippi workers’ compensation lawyers at Richard Schwartz & Associates Injury Lawyers, P.A. understand the challenges employees and their families face when a disability or death occurs as a result of job-related injuries.

We work hard to make sure victims of workplace accidents qualify for:

  • Payment of certain medical benefits
  • Payment of lost wages
  • Payment of death benefits to the surviving spouse and certain dependents

Issues in Workers’ Compensation

Having represented thousands of injured workers over the years, our attorneys have encountered so many different issues that arise in a workers’ compensation claim. Handling these types of cases is something we do on a daily basis. For you, it is hopefully the first and only time you get hurt on the job.

If you were injured at work, you probably have a million questions:

  • What is or is not a work-related injury?
  • How much time do I have to report the injury?
  • Can I be fired?
  • What if the injury was my fault?
  • What if my injury was caused by a third party?
  • What benefits am I entitled to?
  • What if the injury was my employer’s fault?
  • Do I get to choose my own doctor?
  • What is the statute of limitations?
  • How much will it cost to hire a lawyer?

We can answer these and any other questions you may have regarding your claim. Please give us a call today.

Our attorneys are not afraid to fight the insurance company or employer to ensure you get the help and benefits you deserve. Many cases resolve through settlement, but if we have to take your case to a hearing to get you what you deserve, we will do it. If we have to fight your case all the way to the Supreme Court of Mississippi, we will do it. Your case is important to us.

Common Questions

This depends on your situation. People who have been injured are oftentimes better off if they get professional representation. Insurance companies are in the business of making money for themselves, and the less they pay the more they make! That being said, not everyone needs to hire an accident attorney, but please call our firm anytime for a 100% free consultation to speak with a specialist who can analyze your individual circumstances.

This depends a lot on three factors: 1) the severity of your injuries; 2) who was at fault in the accident; and, 3) the insurance policies available to cover your claims. Generally speaking, the more severe your injuries, the less you were at fault, and the more insurance coverage available to cover your claims -- the more your case will be worth. If you'd like a free assessment of the strength of your case -- please call us at 601-988-8888.

If you've been seriously injured in an accident, we don't recommend it. Speaking with the insurance company before speaking with an attorney, even if it's your own insurance company, can, unfortunately, be detrimental to your case. And it is always best to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney near you about your case before giving any kind of recording statement.
