How Can I Get the Accident Report For My Injury Case in Mississippi?

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog, Rogen K. Chhabra, Workers Compensation

If you are hurt at work in Mississippi, the employer will usually file a first report of injury with the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission.

Experienced Mississippi workers compensation lawyers have the ability to get these online pretty quickly.

They can turn it over if they want, but many times they refuse. The only way...

My work injury isn’t based on a single accident – can I still make a workers’ comp claim in Mississippi?

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog, Rogen K. Chhabra, Workers Compensation

What types of rights do healthcare workers have in Mississippi if they get hurt by a patient?

The employee also must not have been engaged in horseplay at the time of the injury. But fault is otherwise not an issue. Healthcare workers get attacked by patients more frequently than one might expect. While the worker...
