The Benefits of Workers’ Compensation
If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that employers must carry to provide medical care and lost wages to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Your employer is required by law to provide you with workers’ compensation, and you must follow certain steps to receive these benefits.
Workers’ compensation benefits can cover a variety of expenses, including:
- Medical care: Workers’ compensation can cover the cost of medical bills related to the injury, including doctor’s visits and prescription drugs.
- Lost wages: If you are unable to work due to your injury, workers’ compensation can help cover your lost wages.
- Disability benefits: If you are permanently disabled due to your injury, workers’ compensation can provide you with disability benefits.
- Rehabilitation: Workers’ compensation can cover the cost of rehabilitation services, such as physical and occupational therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the waiting period for work comp in Tennessee?
Tennessee’s workers’ compensation law includes a seven-day waiting period, meaning employees are not paid for the first seven days of their claim. If the employee is off work for more than 14 days, the waiting period is waived, and benefits start from the first day of disability. Employees can also use sick leave, annual leave, or compensatory time instead of accepting "lost time pay".
What is the maximum compensation rate in Tennessee?
The weekly benefit amount is two-thirds of your average weekly wage before the injury, up to a maximum that is linked to Tennessee's statewide average weekly wage for the year of your injury. For injuries occurring from July 2024 through June 2025, the maximum is $1,360.70 per week.
How long does an employee have to report an injury in TN?
In Tennessee, you must report your work-related injury to your supervisor within 15 days of the accident or the date when a doctor first informs you that your injury is work-related, to ensure the proper forms and paperwork are completed.
Can I get a second opinion on my workers' comp in Tennessee?
While the employer or insurance company is generally not required by law to offer a second opinion, you can always request one. You may also obtain a second opinion or additional medical treatment from any doctor at your own expense.
