WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
People who suffer an injury or illness as a result of negligence or recklessness of someone else can file a personal injury claim. By filing the claim, you initiate a civil lawsuit against the offending party. In some cases, the lawsuit is against an individual. However, it can also be against a business or government agency.
​
There are two main ways to resolve personal injury claims. First, you and your lawyer can negotiate a settlement or you can resolve your claim in court. The at fault party will have to compensate you for your medical bills, missed wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses.
WHY HIRE A PESONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
Our consultations are free! We only get paid if we win!
​
Personal injury lawyers help you to maximize the value of your case. Without any attorney many people would not be justly compensated for injuries caused by the negligence of others.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
It is very important for you to call us as soon as possible after an accident. As time passes, vital aspects of your case such as evidence and records may be destroyed or lost. Also, witnesses or the person who caused the accident become harder to locate.
Statute of Limitations - There are time restrictions to filing a personal injury lawsuit. Every state has its own laws regarding the issue. Georgia has a statute of limitations of two years and Tennessee has a one year statute. The timer begins on the day of your accident. If you wait too long to file a claim, you may forfeit your legal rights and may not receive compensation.

Workers'
Compensation
WORKERS COMPENSATION OVERVIEW
McKinney Legal Group is here to help you with the complicated process of filing for workers’ compensation. Employers have an obligation to keep their workers safe by providing safe equipment and environments and by training workers on proper safety practices. When they fail to do so and someone gets hurt, that employer is then financially liable for the workers’ medical expenses, lost wages, and more.

Our consultations are free! We only get paid if we win!
​
Hiring a workers’ compensation attorney for your workplace accident is recommended for several reasons. Their are deadlines that must be followed for your claim to be successful. Missing even one of these deadlines could prevent your claim from making it to court. A worker’s compensation attorney can help prevent you from being taken advantage of by the employer.
If you’re unsure whether or not your employer has done all they can to secure you the compensation you deserve we suggest speaking with our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers. Our workers’ compensation lawyers can help you reclaim the damages caused by your workplace accident.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM INJURED ON THE JOB?
Injuries on the job must be reported to your supervisor or human resources department within a specified time frame or the date you became aware of an illness or condition that accumulated over time. Time frames vary by state.
Your employer must provide you with a panel of doctors from which you can choose. If you need emergency treatment before this is possible, workers’ compensation may reimburse this cost if your claim is approved.
Your employer has a specified time frame to approve or deny your claim. Time frames vary by state. If you disagree with the results, you have to file a Petition for Workers’ Compensation benefits.
It is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations and abide by all work-related restrictions. Failure to do so can result in loss of benefits.
