Fighting for the Rights of Mississippi Workers
In the State of Mississippi, employers who have five or more employees are required to carry workers' compensation insurance in case an employee suffers a work-related injury. If you suffer an on-the-job injury, you should speak to an experienced attorney immediately — there are certain time limitations that you must adhere to when filing your workers' compensation claim.

See the Doctor of Your Choice
One of the most important things for anyone suffering a work related injury is selecting a qualified doctor for treatment. Not only will the doctor provide you with necessary medical treatment, they will also be able to gather and document evidence that is relevant to your Mississippi workers' comp claim.
Under Mississippi workers' comp laws, you have the right to select a competent doctor to treat you. While your employer can offer the services of a doctor for you to see, you have the right see a doctor of your own choosing.
The doctor who treats you may have a big impact on the success of your workers' compensation claim. It is important that the doctor you select will look out for you. We will direct you to the appropriate doctor, one who will be there to treat you and to stand up for you.
