Kingsport Workers Compensation Lawyer
Kingsport Workers Compensation Lawyer
If you were injured on the job, you should get in touch with a Kingsport workers compensation lawyer. You may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. Here are the steps you should take after getting injured:
Tell Your Employer About Your Injury
In order to qualify for workers compensation benefits, you have to report your injury within a certain amount of days after the accident. Even if you don’t feel too badly hurt, you should still tell your employer as soon as possible. Seemingly minor injuries can worsen over time. Let your employer know how the accident happened and where and when it occurred.
Get Medical Attention
No matter what type of injury you’ve sustained, you should see a doctor promptly. Your employer will likely give you a list of doctors you can see. During your first appointment with your doctor, explain how the accident occurred and the symptoms you have experienced thus far. After giving you a physical examination and running the necessary tests, he or she will recommend the appropriate treatment. If you wait too long to seek medical care, you could put your health at risk and jeopardize your chance of receiving workers compensation benefits.
Follow Your Doctor’s Orders
It is important to follow your doctor’s recommended treatment plan. For instance, if you suffered a neck injury at work, your doctor may suggest going to physical therapy. As a Kingsport workers compensation lawyer can confirm, if you stop your treatment too early, you could lose your right to workers compensation benefits. On the other hand, if you’re not satisfied with the medical care you’re receiving, you can get a second opinion.
What State Law Says About On The Job Injuries
Different states have different time limits for when is appropriate to submit your claim and tell your employer about your injury. If your injury occurred in the state of Tennessee, then you have 15 days to report your injury. However, if your injury occurred in the state of Virginia, then you have 30 days to report your injury from when it occurred. It is very important to remember these timelines as they may help or hinder your case for a workers compensation claim. A Kingsport workers compensation lawyer can provide you with even more details regarding deadlines, proof of injury and more from The Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt. If you have incurred an on the job injury, contact us today for a consultation as our attorneys are ready and willing to hear your case.
Common Workers Compensation Injuries
The list of possible injuries on the job is especially long, but there are a few that are more common and noteworthy that may have happened to you.
- Slip and Fall – This is one of the most common on the job injuries. It could occur at a number of jobs when certain chemicals may have spilled and were not cleaned up that led to a slip and fall. Slips and falls could lead to broken bones, bad bruises, cuts, other bodily injuries and even brain damage in the most severe of accidents. Always be mindful of chemicals or water that could cause a slip and fall. If you have slipped and fallen at work, a Kingsport workers compensation lawyer can assist you with your claim.
- Machines, Vehicles & Equipment – Anytime someone operates a heavy machine or a vehicle there is a chance of a harmful injury. This is due to human error most of the time and could also come down to poor maintenance or even a manufacturer error that led to a malfunction. These injuries can cause extensive damage to a person that includes broken bones, brain injuries, loss of movement in certain limbs and more depending on the level of severity. If you have been injured by a malfunctioning machine or the negligence of another worker, then The Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt can help you out with your case.
- Overusing Certain Muscles – This injury is one of the most common in office jobs. Most people assume that office jobs are easy and unlikely to get injured, but this is not the case. Office workers operating computers for long hours keep their bodies in similar positions for hours at a time. They may be exhibiting poor posture for long hours and tensing their muscles when using phones and computers. All of these things over time that a worker does repetitively can cause injury and damage to muscles.
- Workplace Violence – This is not as common as some of the other injuries, but unfortunately still does occur. A worker and you may have a disagreement and they decide to take violence against you that could lead to injury. Contact a Kingsport workers compensation lawyer if this has happened to you as it may be possible to have a claim for this type of occurrence as well.
Hire a Workers Compensation Lawyer
If your workers compensation case is fairly simple, you may be able to hand it on your own. However, if there are complexities in your case, it is definitely worth it to hire an experienced workers compensation lawyer. For instance, if your employer has denied your claim, a lawyer can help you file an appeal and improve your chances of getting approved the second time.
If your employer has retaliated against you in any way for filing for workers compensation, it’s also necessary to consult a lawyer. Retaliating against an employee for filing for benefits is illegal, and your lawyer will protect your rights.
If you need assistance with your workers compensation claim, you should schedule a consultation with a Kingsport workers compensation lawyer from The Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt today!

I contacted the law offices of Mark T. Hurt regarding a traffic ticket I received. Initially I was concerned because I live between Florida and New York, and with Virginia being midway, handling my ticket would be a major inconvenience, and I wanted to keep my record free of any infractions.Choosing Mark T. Hurt to represent me was the best choice I made, and it was further improved with the assistance of Rhonda, who contacted me once they received my request. Rhonda is one of those unique people who has mastered the fine line between being perfectly professional and friendly. Every conversation we had, was made to feel as if I were speaking to a close friend. One of the most appreciated aspects of working with her was her understanding and respectful of my schedule and time.For my work, I have a hectic schedule and very few free moments, so being able to handle things quickly and effectively is a priority for me, and Rhonda understood that and took care of everything as if she knew exactly what I was expecting. I even got sick while working with Rhonda, and her first comment was to wish me well. She also went out of her way to find solutions regarding my traffic citation that worked around my schedule. The price was fair, and when considering the quality of work and more importantly, the quality of people you will be reliant upon to ensure the best possible outcome for whatever your situation is, they can ask for 10x more than what I paid and it would still be worth it.All in all, recommendation for this law office, and for Rhonda herself, could not be higher. If you are searching for someone to represent you in any legal matter whatsoever, this is the office to work with. Thank you again Rhonda.

I'm not a Virgina resident and had found this firm through Google. I have a traffic violation case in tennessee and was desperate to get awnsers. This law office's staff was so helpful even though I wasn't able to even be a client, I believe the person who awnsered was Ashley. After their direction on finding another attorney and my case I was able to push my court date back and will be able to find someone to represent me.I'm not even a client, they didn't have to help me at all! I just wish they practiced in the tri cities area! Would recommend this group!

Late in July I was charged with a reckless driving ticket in Greenville County, Virginia. I got caught going 83mph in a 55mph zone. It was my first offense on my driving record and I did not need a misdemeanor which could hurt my career. I was assured by Mrs Rhonda Hurt not to worry and that her team would take care of it. On my end, the only effort I put in was taking a 12 hour defensive driving course and sending her my driving record. Two months later, the result of my hearing was a reduction to a defective equipment/non driving violation with 0 points off my record. The other good part about this case was I did not have to go to court. In court fees I paid $68 and a fine of $78 for my ticket. Mrs. Rhonda and her team put together a miracle in that county and I cannot give her enough credit. I sincerely recommend this firm because I know they worked hard on my case and will do the same for you. Thank you again!

I got a traffic ticket while I traveled passing through VA in May.It is a big deal if you have the Law Section: 44-1/46/2-862 and speeding excess of 80 MPH in your ticket. It is a Criminal Misdemeanor Reckless Driving Charge!I saw Mark T. Hurt's Law office simple letter, I decided to give a call and get a free consultation.From the call, Rhonda provided a detail explaining the criminal charge of the Misdemeanor Reckless Driving ticket is about. She is a very caring and honest person, no sale pressure to me to take their law office at all.Once I decided to use their firm to represent me in court, it didn't take an hour, I was told totake some actions and wait for cout day to see the result. That is that simple and no worry at all. On the court date, I received text messages from lawyer's office. Guess what? The lawyer did a miraculous and fantastic job for me in the court.The Reckless Driving Misdemeanor ticket has been reduced to an Improper Driving traffic ticket.Thanks to Mark T. Hurt's Law office team! They are not only very professional and transparent but also does the best quality job you can find. I strongly recommend them to be your lawyer if you need one in VA.

Having landed a Reckless Driving (99 in a 65) on my way back to FL from WV, I came across this law firm when searching something along "best reckless driving lawyers Virginia."Mr. Hurt's firm dropped my "Criminal Misdemeanor" to an improper driving. Which from my understanding is right next to a normal speeding ticket.All expenses accounted (payment, court cost, fine), I'm out roughly $1,100 ; but I'd much rather pay that once today, than every six months to an insurance company for the next... God knows how many years. I am extremely grateful and overjoyed with my outcome.As far as speaking with the great ladies at these offices, everyone was always kind, quick, and considerate. They answered all my questions, explained all my options and possible outcomes. I had a clean record, and had now experience dealing with courts or lawyers, so their patience and knowledge was especially helpful. If I ever screw up again (I pray to God I don't) I hope it's in Virginia, so I can call upon Mr. Hurt's offices.

I’m not a lawyer and things like that should be handled quickly. They helped me to completely resolve the entire issue and make sure that it doesn’t come back to bite me later. I am very satisfied with the people that took care of this matter. If it came down to it I would hire them again. Great law firm.

I am a free man thanks to you.Your team was always courteous and consistent in promptly responding to questions along the way. I felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. I appreciated having the opportunity to communicate with a few of you by telephone, text or email (I am Canadian) and the professionalism was strong from top to bottom.The day of the favourable decision, I received an email in the evening, well after office hours, which demonstrated to me their dedication in getting back to me as soon as it was possible. I had known all along that I wouldn't need to follow up, just from the way my case was handled throughout.I could not have asked for more, am very thankful for the favourable result and highly encourage anyone to contact you if they require legal counsel.

The law office exceeded my expectations by getting my reckless driving charge dismissed.Important things to note:-The receptionist Carol was extremely amiable and even pushed the trial back a few months since I found them literally a day before my court date.-I live out of state and they took care of everything through the phone, email, mail.-Melanie Blankenship emailed/called me to give me the outcome of the trial and was very thorough.

Promise made. Promise kept.5.0 starsPosted by EricDecember 13, 2018When I learned that what I thought was a regular speeding ticket for being clocked at 86 mph in a 70 mph zone on a stretch of I-81 in VA less than 30 miles from TN this past September enroute from York PA to visit my sick aunt in Knoxville, was really a Class 1 misdemeanor reckless driving charge which carried with it a year in jail, a $2,500.00 fine, and six points on my license I was both shocked & outraged; shocked that the penalty was so severe in an obvious speed trap and outraged that the ticketing officer did not tell me what I had when asked; saying that I could pay off the ticket over the phone without having to appear in court; neither of which was true with this particular charge. But for my suspicion that the officer had not told me the truth I would never have looked up the code on my ticket once I reached my destination and discovered the serious nature of the charge. I was sick because I knew I had no money to hire an attorney; let alone pay that $2,500.00 fine. Fortunately, while looking up the specifics of what I was charged with, I came across the Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt and the rave reviews I read compelled me to contact his offices on the spot. I explained my dire financial situation and to my amazement his office agreed to take a $100.00 down payment on the spot with the balance of the flat $400.00 fee to be paid off between now & my court date of December 13, 2018 (a date which they had gotten moved from September after I had only paid half of my fee). Well, I did what they told me to do; taking an eight hour safe driving course (which I found to be extremely helpful) and sending in my driving record which fortunately for me had not had any kind of infractions for over twenty years. As a result, due to Mark's representation, the court agreed to reduce my reckless driving charge to a basic traffic infraction of 79/70. This reduced my financial penalty from $2,500.00 to a $175.00 fine plus $64.00 in court costs and three points on my license. In an additional stroke of good fortune, I happen to live in one of two states (PA) which does not count three point out of state traffic infractions against my driving record which means my insurance rates will not go up. So all total I am out of $715.00 from this whole experience when you factor in attorney's fees, court costs, fine, and safe driving course & while it is a financial hit I can ill afford, it is a whole, whole lot better than the $2,500.00 hit plus six points & having a permanent criminal record I would have received had I done what so many out of state drivers unwittingly do; allow their reckless driving charge to result in a conviction either by not hiring a super attorney like Mark T. Hurt & representing themselves, or not showing up at all and taking the full hit by foolishly ignoring the seriousness of the charge. Don't be an idiot and incur such needless damage to yourself by trying to handle this alone because trust me, you won't win and you sure as hell will lose big. The Law Offices of Mark T, Hurt will work with you and as my title here states, a Promise they make is a Promise they keep. Just be sure to hold up your end & do exactly what they tell you to do because if you do that, you will surely come out ahead. So thank you Mark and thank your wonderful staff. All of you are superb in what you do and are true to your word. Just please don't hold it against me if during my next trip south I choose to fly over Virginia rather than drive through it. Hell, those folks are so overzealous in trapping folks in speed traps that right now I'm even afraid of taking the train through that state for fear that they might stop it for speeding and ticket everyone on board. Hey, you never know. Anyway, thanks again Mark and God Bless.With Kindest Regards,Eric D. Smith

My cousin got a Reckless Driving ticket in Wythe VA, and he was freaking out because he was visiting from another country. I began researching lawyers and called the office of Mark T. Hurt. The first time i call it was Carol who responded to all my questions. The next day i called again and it was Melanie that picked up my call. Both Carol and Melanie were extremely professional and the law office accepted our case. We were fortunate to have Mr. Hurt to represent my cousin to go to court since he has to go back to his country. Surprisingly, the fine was to the minimum and Melanie emailed me right away on how to pay the fine online. I went ahead paid the fine online for my cousin. We were happy with the outcome and extremely happy to have worked with the staffs at The office of Mark T. Hurt. Best Law office in the area!! Extremely satisfied!!! Best in the area!

I had received a reckless driving citation in VA on my way down to Myrtle Beach, SC for vacation in July. I was so distraught and disappointed in myself. Those feelings only worsened when I reviewed everything I was up against in the initial citation. I had just graduated in June with my associates degree in Medical Assistanting. I thought, “This is unreal, I just started a new chapter in my life and this charge could ruin my life with my son!” Obviously I was overwhelmed. My mom was trying to help me find an attorney and some that we contacted we helpful but some were not helpful and plain rude. My mom, by chance found the office of Mark T. Hurt while searching the Internet. I was so emotional when I called and almost losing hope and that’s when I was able to speak to Ms. Pease. She was very nice, empathetic, positive, and upfront on the information I needed to provide along with the process of the court procedures. I’m so blessed and grateful for you Ms. Pease, you certainly calmed my nerves, soul, and mind because this was my first incident like this ever in my life and I was frightened, as you know! Ms. Pease along with the staff kept in very good and excellent contact with me. They provided me confidence, security, along with timely updates or check-ins during my continuation and hearing being that I live in Pennsylvania and was unable to attend my hearing personally. Ms. Pease was able to get my reckless driving citation changed to an improper driving charge and believe me when I say this I am truly and forever grateful for her assistance and professionalism in this matter. It’s a shame almost that I want to say thank you for doing your job Ms. Pease, however in today’s world they just don’t make or this world just doesn’t have as many people who take pride in their job and treat their clients with respect and empathy as you did. I sincerely thank you Ms. Pease and the entire staff at the office of Mark T. Hurt. I wish the best to you all with many blessings along the way!

I recently used their services for a speeding ticket in Pulaski county Virginia. The outcome was better than I expected.Services from this law firm was actually 50 dollars less than their local competitors and they were the only one that actually gave me a clear run down of what I can expect. They got my ticket dismissed and I couldnt be happier with the final outcome. Being that I was from out of state they took care of everything. I would use their services again but hopefully I will never have to.

Did a fantastic job. It was easy working with them and I really couldn't have imagined getting a better outcome than what I got with them in regards to my speeding ticket in southwest VA.
