Experienced Workers' Compensation
Lawyers in Knoxville and East Tennessee
Although workers' compensation systems in Tennessee and elsewhere are intended to help people through a difficult period of time following a serious workplace injury — bureaucratic systems don't always work as they should.
At Vaughan and Zuker, our decades of experience with the Tennessee workers' compensation system can help you avoid pitfalls, overcome obstacles and navigate the bureaucratic maze effectively. What our attorneys do for clients includes:
- Walking you through the initial application process
- Representing you in any and all hearings before the Tennessee Department of Labor, Workforce Development, and court system.
- Helping you recover lost wages and obtain medical benefits for temporary total disability (TTD), permanent partial disability (PPD) or permanent total disability (PTD)
- Fighting to obtain workers' compensation death benefits
- Handling workers' compensation appeals if necessary
- Reconsideration of past workers’ compensations awards:
- If you have recently lost your job and have settled a work related injury in the past, you may be able to reopen your old workers compensation claim and seek additional compensation. Deadlines are involved. Seek a free consultation with Vaughan and Zuker soon.

Can I Choose My Own Doctor?
In some states, injured workers do have the right to choose any qualified physician they want (qualified meaning you can't go to see a foot doctor about your back injury). In Tennessee, this is not the case. Here, you have the right to choose a physician but only from a list that your employer provides. Not surprisingly, doctors on the company list often reach conclusions that are favorable to the company.
That said — our attorneys have the experience and a roster of professional experts to help challenge "adverse" medical evaluations that could prevent you from obtaining less than the benefits you deserve.

The help you need to fight for your workers' compensation benefits is just a phone call away.
