Get the Full Compensation for Your Injuries
The workers' compensation program provides a great safety net for injured workers and protection for employers from business crippling lawsuits. The problem, though, is that workers' compensation rarely covers the full extent of medical bills and lost wages, especially in cases involving long-term injuries. This leaves many injured workers unable to support themselves and their families.

Although workers' compensation rules prohibit lawsuits against employers for on-the-job injuries, injured workers can often increase their compensation through third-party liability suits. At Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge, we can help you obtain full and appropriate compensation if you have been injured at work. With more than 30 years of legal experience, our Tennessee workers' compensation attorneys can walk you through the legal process. Come into our office for a detailed consultation. We will analyze your situation to see if you have a third-party liability claim.
Third-Party Claims
A third-party liability lawsuit is a personal injury suit to recover compensation for on-the-job injuries, brought against anyone other than the victim's employer or co-workers. Examples of third-party liability claims include:
- Chemical burns caused by faulty chemical storage equipment manufactured by another company
- Scaffold injures caused by a faulty scaffold manufactured by another company
- Power tool failure accidents or other construction site injuries caused by faulty equipment manufactured by other companies
Whether you have suffered serious on-the-job injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one due to someone else's negligence, we can help you get the compensation you need. We have a track record of successful verdicts and settlements in third-party liability cases.
