Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance plan that is required for every employer in Mississippi with more than five employees, except for charitable organizations and farmers. What Does No-Fault Mean? No-fault means that, if you are injured at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits even if nobody did anything wrong to cause your injury. What Is Covered by Workers’ Compensation? Any injury is covered. It doesn’t matter if the injury is serious or not; all that matters is that the injury occurred on the job. Gradually developing injuries, like lung conditions caused by breathing in contaminated air on the worksite or carpal tunnel syndrome that occurs after years of repetitive hand work, are usually covered. Work doesn’t need to be the sole cause of an injury or disability for workers’ compensation to apply. As long as it can be shown that the work contributed to it by aggravating a preexisting condition or accelerating a condition that would not have otherwise become disabling, coverage can be granted. W hen Does Workers’ Compensation Coverage Start? In Mississippi, workers’ compensation coverage begins on the first day of employment. Coverage remains even if an injured employee is terminated or quits. What Should You Do If You Are Injured at Work? First, you should immediately report the injury to your employer, even if you don’t think it’s serious. You should also make a w ritten report (keep a copy!) and have witnesses sign it as confirmation of the injury. What Benefits Are Available Under Workers’ Compensation? Medical treatment is available at no cost to you; there is no deductible or co-pay. The right to receive medical treatment paid by the employer and insurance carrier to treat a work injury is unlimited in amount and duration. If a medical provider takes you off work for more than five days as a result of your injury, you are entitled to disability benefits. Disability is paid at two-thirds of your weekly wage up to a maximum weekly benefit during the year that the injury occurred. These include: 2020 --$505.43 a week and $227,443.50 overall max; 2021 --$523.16 and $235,422.00 ; and, 2022 --$551.02 and $247,959.00. How Long Does a Workers’ Compensation Claim Last? You have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim in Mississippi. Your benefits, including the money paid by your employer, will stop after two years unless you have filed a petition with the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission. Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson Is Here to Fight for You Since 2000, Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC has served the good people of Jackson after serious injuries.

SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Camp Lejeune Justice Act Lawsuits For Toxic Water Exposure at Camp Lejeune Congress passed the PACT Act and the included Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which will benefit countless military veterans and their families who spent time at Camp Lejeune and were exposed to toxic water. Under this act, affected parties can bring lawsuits against the federal government for compensation that helps pay for any losses caused by related illnesses or cancer. With the act signed by President Biden, a brief two-year lookback window has opened to allow these claims, so you need to move now if you want to file one, too. Let Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson in Jackson help you understand your options under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. We proudly offer our legal services to the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who were exposed to toxic water at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, and who have suffered serious illnesses because of it. You could be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act lawsuit if you: Served, lived, or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987. Were exposed to the water there for at least 30 days (not necessarily consecutive days). Were diagnosed with cancer or a chronic illness; or, Were born with a birth injury and your parents spent time on Camp Lejeune; or, Lost a loved one to terminal illness after they spent time on Camp Lejeune. Learn more about Camp Lejeune lawsuits by contacting us online or dialing (601) 355-5200. What Does the Camp Lejeune Justice Act Do? Usually, suing the federal government for injury-related compensation is highly complicated and difficult. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act was designed to make that process less challenging for eligible claimants. Under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act: The federal government can’t use specific defenses that are often used in toxic exposure lawsuits and mass torts. The two-year lookback window lets people pursue a claim that normally would’ve been blocked by the six-month statute of limitations against the federal government. Between the years 1953 and 1987, potentially millions of people could have been exposed to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune. It is believed that tens of thousands of people could have eligible claims. Hundreds or thousands more might have already passed away from the illnesses caused by the toxic water, which could allow claims to be filed by their surviving family members. With so many potential claims to be filed soon, it is important to work with our team to make sure that your case is made correctly. What Caused the Toxic Water at Camp Lejeune? A study from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) discovered that two water treatment plants at Camp Lejeune were circulating contaminated water for decades. Specifically, the water was contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are known to cause severe illnesses with repeated or large exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a maximum safe level of VOC exposure before serious health concerns arise. Water sources at Camp Lejeune have been tested and it was found that some of them had VOC levels that exceeded those safe levels 400 times over. Anyone who drank, bathed in, or cleaned with the water at Camp Lejeune could be at a high risk of suffering chronic illness or cancer later. It is believed that the federal government knew about the VOC contamination at Camp Lejeune for years before it notified anyone about the problem. This negligent response to the problem is the basis of the lawsuits that are forming thanks to the recent passage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. VOC-Related Illnesses VOC exposure is known by the scientific and medical communities to cause many severe illnesses and specific forms of cancer. The ATSDR study found that some people who stayed at Camp Lejeune were 300% more likely to be diagnosed with those types of diseases than a control group that did not spend time there. This disparity in cancer rates between the groups is strong evidence that the water at Camp Lejeune is the direct cause of those illnesses. VOC exposure at Camp Lejeune has been linked to: Leukemia Prostate cancer Bladder cancer Kidney cancer VOC exposure is also kn own to cause these diseases and health complications: Higher risk of birth injury Higher risk of miscarriage Infertility Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Parkinson’s disease Scleroderma or systemic sclerosis The Camp Lejeune Justice Act opens lawsuits to people who were diagnosed with one or more illnesses out of a very specific list of illnesses, which includes the above and others. To learn if your illness or that of a loved one qualifies for a Camp Lejeune toxic exposure lawsuit, call (601) 514-6544 and talk to our team. We Can Help You Start a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit The Camp Lejeune Justice Act will let you start a toxic exposure claim for just two years.

SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Jackson Spine Injury Attorneys We've Recovered Millions for Our Clients Motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, slip and falls —all of these have one injury in common: spinal cord damage. Spinal cord damage leads to partial or total paralysis in our arms, legs, or our entire bodies, robbing us of our ability to work or enjoy our lives the same way ever again. On top of that, spine injuries cost millions of dollars over the course of a patient’s life, from initial hospitalization to rehab to home accommodations. At Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC, our Jackson spinal injury lawyers advocate for people who’ve suffered loss of mobility due to negligence. We fight to recover what they need most: money for medical bills, lost wages, and future costs. Our team has nearly a century of combined experience, and as a result, we’re the firm judges and other attorneys turn to when they need an injury advocate. It all starts with a free consultation. Get a same-day free consultation: call (601) 355-5200 to learn your options. The Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries About a third of all spinal cord injuries are either complete paraplegia or complete tetraplegia. The average cost of care for complete paraplegia—the most 'affordable' of the two—is over half a million dollars for the first year, and about $75,000 for every year after that. When people lose the use of their legs, it's physically and financially devastating. Most families don't have enough money to pay for an entire salary's worth of care every year, much less half a million in bills upfront. That's why it's vital for families to call us as soon as possible after an accident. Get Started On Your Case Today Unlike other firms, your case will be handled directly by your attorney.

Jackson Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Millions Won by Motorcycle Crash Lawyers in Jackson, MS Motorcycle riders deserve the same regard and vigilance afforded to four-wheeled motorists. The same qualities that make riding so attractive are the same reasons that riders deserve to share the highway: riders are afforded little protection outside of their helmet, making any kind of collision potentially fatal for motorcyclists. In fact, the NHTSA estimates that for every 100,000 registered motorcycles, over 50 will be in a fatal crash. With 8.3 million motorcycles registered in the US, that's thousands of lives at risk. When people are hurt in a crash, they call the Jackson motorcycle accident lawyers at Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC. Our team has 90+ years of collective experience handling motorcycle injury claims, ensuring that riders get what they need to pay for medical bills, make up for lost wages, and get back on their feet. Our clients and client referrals include judges, attorneys, doctors, and other professionals because everyone who has worked with us knows we're the premier plaintiff advocacy firm in Mississippi. With millions in recoveries under our belts, you can rely on us to fight for what you need. Call (601) 355-5200 or contact us online today for a free consultation to learn your legal options. What Is the Leading Cause of Motorcycle Accidents? While it's common to point to motorcycle design as the 'reason' for crashes and fatalities, but the fact is, motorcycles don't crash on their own. It is driver behavior that causes most crashes and rider fatalities. Part of the problem is lack of vigilance—drivers train themselves to look for other cars or trucks, but they don't actively look for motorcyclists. This renders many drivers blind to riders, even when riders are traveling at relatively low speeds. Unsafe or unsignaled lane changes, in particular, are a terrible hazard. However, there are other problems besides driver behavior, like poor road condition or defective equipment. All of these could lead to catastrophic or fatal consequences. What Are the Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries? Because motorcycles offer no structural protection to riders, a motorcycle collision with a car or truck can leave the rider with debilitating and life-changing injuries , if they survive at all. Unfortunately, the NHTSA reports that motorcyclists are about 28 times more likely than people in passenger vehicles to die in a traffic accident. Motorcycl e accidents commonly result in: Skull fractures Nervous system damage Amputations Internal bleeding Lost or damaged teeth Broken bones Severe road rash Paralysis Spinal cord injuries Brain injuries The Consequences of Motorcycle Accident Injuries Many of these injuries may require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. The most severe injuries can leave the victim paralyzed or dependent upon around-the-clock care. While the monetary costs of these losses can be astronomical, they still pale in comparison to the magnitude of suffering the victim will have to endure throughout their recovery and into the future. That is why our personal injury law firm aggressively advocates for motorcycle accident victims; after losing so much, our clients deserve every penny of compensation to pay for their ongoing care, make up for the wages they may no longer be able to earn, and more. What Is Your Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth? Every case is different, so there is no universal answer to this question. The value of your claim will depend on the circumstances and details of your accident, including: The severity of your injuries Your medical bills and prognosis Liability percentages And other factors To get a better idea of what you might be able to expect from an injury claim, contact our firm today to schedule a case evaluation with an experienced Jackson motorcycle accident lawyer. We have successfully recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients. Whatever the cause of your crash, speak with us as soon as possible so we can investigate what happened and what your legal recovery options might be.
